Sophia Regina Allison (born May 27, 1997), better known by her stage name Soccer Mommy, is an American singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. She has four studio albums to her name; her latest album, Evergreen, was released on October 25, 2024.
Born in Z眉rich, Switzerland, in 1997 to Michelle (an elementary school teacher) and John Allison (a neuroscientist), Sophie Allison grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, where her parents had moved the family when she was a toddler. She attended Nashville School of the Arts, a specialty high school where she studied guitar and participated in the school's swing band.
Having been playing guitar since the age of 6, Allison began creating her own music. Avril Lavigne's 2004 album Under My Skin was the first album she ever owned. She began posting home-recorded songs to Bandcamp as Soccer Mommy in 2015, during the summer when she was about to leave for college. She then attended New York University (NYU), where she studied music business and English at the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. While in college, Allison played her first show as Soccer Mommy at the community art space Silent Barn in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and shortly after landed a recording contract with Fat Possum. She dropped out of college after two years in 2017 to return to Nashville and pursue her music career.
