Future Stars: Sophie Beem (Parkwood Music)
Taken from this week’s Future Pop mailer. Click here to subscribe. Last year I wrote about sister duo Chloe and Halle, who had signed with Beyoncé’s new management company/label, Parkwood Music. I didn’t mention that they’d also picked up another teen girl singer, Sophie Beem.
