The British tot and her cousin and part-time bestie Rosie became an overnight sensation after posting a viral video covering Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” back in 2011.
The adorable duo went on to become household names, when the almighty Ellen came across them.
Watch where it all began in the video player below! Post continues…
Arm-in-arm with her cousin, Rosie and Sophia Grace dominated the daytime talk show with irresistibly cute raps and red carpet skills, that had Hollywood’s brightest stars eating out the pair of their very little hands.
Over four years later, Sophia Grace has maintained the momentum and has expanded from doing song covers to releasing original music.
The young tween released her first single “Girls Just Gotta Have Fun” in 2013, followed by “Best Friends” last year.
With a music career on the rise, the young Brit also shares parts of life on her YouTube vlog.
Clearly growing up, Sophia Grace is now trying to impart her experience in her latest single, a collaboration with Silento called “Girl in the Mirror.”
The song’s video clips shows us Sophia dancing around her (very pink) bedroom belting out lyrics about about self-love and acceptance.
“So I don’t care what you say cause I’m original,” she sings.
“I’m learning how to love me from my head down to my toes.”
Despite growing up in the spotlight, the teen doesn’t think it’s had a negative impact.
“My dad runs all my social media so I don’t really see anything,” she explained to Bustle.com in regards to user comments and any potential hate.
Clocking millions of views and over 1.4 million followers, Sophia Grace is on the fast-track to stardom.
But she’s keeping herself grounded.
“I have a pretty normal life, I don’t really get recognized that much especially at home, so I just do normal things everyday with friends. So it’s not really any different. I don’t wanna be like really famous so I can’t even go to the shops or anything.”
It does come with its challenges, with Sophia admitting home-schooling makes it tough to make new friends.
“I have friends that I went to my elementary school with and I know they’re my real friends because they were friends with me before I was famous. But now when I meet people, I’m nervous.”
Adding, “I’ve got a couple of friends. I think it’s better to have three really good friends than a big group of fake friends!”
Speaking of her friends, Sophia is still VERY close to her cousin Rosie.
“Rosie is at home at the moment, she’s at school,” she quipped.
“She can’t come out at the moment because her school is really strict. When I’m doing my music, it’s on my own. I see her every single day.”
Clearly this teen is wise beyond her years.
