In this episode, Ghost Cult’s Keefy chats with prolific artist Sofia Fraz of Exiled Hope and Forgotten Shrine. Sofia released a series of recent singles, including “Lightborn” in 2024. Her new album, the culmination of several years of work, Apocrphya releases in spring of 2025. Exiled Hope will also release a split album in early 2025 with Steel Forge, and also put out the Where Shadows Lie album with Forgotten Shrine this year as well! In addition to all her music, Sofia is a full-time law student and is fast becoming a trusted source of expertise in legal matters and PR in the music industry. We cover a lot of ground in this fun chat.
