Sofia Isella is a Los Angeles-born, 21-year-old indie-pop musician crafting sharp, cinematic dark pop about womanhood, rage, and the absurdity of modern life. Classically trained on violin from age two and daughter of Oscar-winning cinematographer Claudio Miranda, she grew up between Taiwan, Australia, and New Mexico before channeling her itinerant childhood into ferociously literary songwriting. Her 2023 viral breakout 'Hot Gum' (16M+ streams) led to opening for Taylor Swift at Wembley Stadium before 90,000 fans in August 2024, where Swift personally sent her a handwritten letter praising 'Everybody Supports Women.' By April 2026, Isella has released four EPs and surpassed 150 million worldwide streams, headlining sold-out shows across Europe and the US on her 'Her Desire, The Nemesis' tour.
Heather Havrilesky is an American advice columnist, culture writer, and author best known for her wildly popular 'Ask Polly' column, which began at The Awl in 2012, moved to New York magazine's The Cut in 2014, and migrated to Substack in 2021 where it has amassed over 100,000 subscribers. Writing with unflinching emotional honesty and a distinct all-caps intensity, she dismantles myths of American success, explores the paradoxes of modern love, and reassures readers that being a walking tangle of contradictions is not just acceptable but very human. She is also the author of four books, including the New York Times bestseller 'How to Be a Person in the World' and 'Foreverland: On the Divine Tedium of Marriage,' named a Best Book of 2022 by The New Yorker.
