Sofia said: "Pieces of Me is exactly what it says it is an all-encompassing journey of me as an artist through 'pieces' - fragments of the human experience. As I progress through the tracks, you listen to progress in me as an artist. It's a variety of genres, these are different experiences collectively coming together with one sole purpose, to bring a safe space yet constantly challenge and evoke emotion.

"I believe that music is one of the deepest forms of connection there is. When you canʼt find the words, thereʼs music. I believe everyone has an experience, if not multiple, where music was the only thing they needed at a certain moment and this collection is a series of moments in mine - and because its so personal, it means a lot to me to release and share it.

"Music connects us, music is an identity, our musical tastes make us different. Itʼs so hugely personal yet universal. Pieces of me begins that connection to the world through my lens - and I thank all who have been with me on my journey, or who are just beginning to be."

Gillaniʼs debut, Pieces of Me is expected to release on March 18th and is produced by Bal Kumar of Frequency Records.
