Sophie Powers is a Hyper pop singer songwriter and fashion designer based in Los Angeles, USA

Sophie Powers is a sonic disruptor, a style innovator, and an unfiltered voice for a generation that refuses to be boxed in. At just 20 years old, the Toronto-born, Los Angeles-based artist is carving out space for sharp-minded, creative outcasts. Since her 2022 debut, Sophie has earned acclaim from PAPER, The FADER, Alternative Press, and Stereogum for her boundary-pushing sound and bold visuals. After going worldwide viral online after auditioning on American Idol as a joke with her song STF in March 2025, she rebranded herself and created Pixl Girl as a side project for her fun side musical/fashion creations.

Sophie Powers teamed up with genre-defying artist and producer RJ Pasin on “XO,” an explosive new single that plunges into a chaotic, cinematic soundscape where hyperpop’s frenetic energy collides with the raw power of metalcore. “XO” captures the emotional volatility of a generation overwhelmed by societal pressure but unwilling to stay silent.

‘XO’ is pure femme fatale energy—like kissing destruction on the mouth,” Sophie shares. “Working with RJ Pasin unlocked this wild sonic tension I’ve been chasing for a while. It’s the sound of me stepping into womanhood, claiming my power, and still recklessly chasing chaos like it’s love.
