sweet caroline

I initially had an indifferent perspective on my name. First seeing it as something entirely boring and a little old fashioned in a family full of “classically named“ american folks, then to seeing it as surprisingly over played the older I got. - In recent years I’ve essentially truncated my last name to Sage because my surname is difficult to spell & pronounce. I love that many adult acquaintances don’t know my real name and I have this built in botanical association I’ve *chosen*. - No matter how common the name is in the real world, and I’m no longer the only Caroline like the small town I grew up in, I do find it undeniably sweet. - I love that many people have positive associations with my name, and there’s a certain joy associated with it because of countless songs in pop culture. For the past few years one of my go to social media bios is “the one all of those songs are named after.” - No nicknames stuck much as a child, besides being called “C” here and there, with my sibling called “B.” But in recent years my best friend started calling me *Care*, hence the username, and it’s the first nickname I’ve connected with and felt loved through. Sorry to all the Caro-s and Carols out there, I always felt frumpy when I was called either growing up. - My mom causally claims that God, yes God, told her to name me in a dream way before her pregnancy. I like to affirm I was given the name because it’s *in my being to care* but I can‘t wait to see what nicknames I collect with the more people I meet, love, and am known by <3 - P.S. always loved the name Virginia as well, and Chrysanthemum because of the children’s book.

I love my symmetrical name

Legally my first name is Sophia… but as a child I didn’t really learn phonetics (bc I was impatient and taught Myself how to read lol) So I had no real concept of the ph sound and thought it was dumb. So I said no I am not sopuhee, I am Sofe. And it stuck. Plus I think Sofe Cote has a good ring to it… my mother wanted to make me Anya. If I had to name me from the start, I would say maybe Dido. If I was a boy, Roland.

BEST COMPLIMENT

Having body confidence is a big one for me too! I want to start posting my body more, for sure. I saw Lola Young post a Tik Tok of her in a bikini in Mexico and it’s so inspiring! She looks natural & amazing! Mine favourite compliment was given yesterday when I was performing at a huge festival in Wales. It was a small stage, I only did one set and I forgot some of the lyrics to my first 2 songs which are only half baked. But the third song got a lot of attention 🥰 Two ladies came up to me & said I was the Welsh Beyoncé 🥳 Said they feel like they’d witnessed a star in the making. Slowly building the confidence to do the main stage of the next festival! I didn’t pursue my music career until I was 30, self doubt got in the way, being bullied… trauma, anxiety & the fear of being seen. It’s a very vulnerable space being an artist. It’s also hard work! But I told myself I wouldn’t be happy in life unless I did it. And now I can say I’m a solo, performing artist at major festivals 🥹😍

BEING AN ARTIST CAN BE HARD.

So many emotions. So much vulnerability put out into the world to share with others. Fear of being seen… judgement. Sometimes it’s totally miserable and it’s hard to believe that someone else could enjoy or relate to that feeling and that music. But, I have to remember that one persons pain is another’s pleasure in some strange way and that we all need to be sad and embrace that feeling sometimes. Being a songwriter is about being able to say or convey feelings and experiences in a way that someone knew they felt, but couldn’t express! It’s about connection and letting others knew they are not alone. I’ve always loved hearing a song and thinking “that’s exactly how I feel! I couldn’t have put those words and that imagery together better myself”! It‘s amazing when we can hop on someone else’s frequency and their emotional-visual experience.
