Besides that, she attended In Motion Dance Studio, being a part of their IMPAC Youth Ensemble program. Subsequently, Sophia was a student of the University of California, Los Angeles and majored in communications, with a minor in French.

Career

In 2012, Sofia signed a deal with BMI, serving as a singer-songwriter. She made her acting debut in 2014, being cast to play Chelsea as a guest star in “Austin & Ally”, a Disney Channel comedy series, which follows the story of a group of friends and their rise to stardom. Several months later she joined the cast of “Faking It”, broadcast on MTV, and in the same year landed the role of Evie, one of the main characters of ‘’Descendants’’. Working on that project, Carson made her breakthrough, as the movie was fairly popular with the younger audience. In 2016, she made an appearance in “Soy Luna”, an acclaimed Argentine series, in which she worked alongside actors such as Karol Sevillas, Ruggero Pasquarelli and Valentina Zenere. During the same year, Sofia joined the cast of “Adventures in Babysitting”, starring opposite Sabrina Carpenter. In 2017, Sofia reprised the role of Evie in the sequel of “Descendants”, entitled “Descendants 2”, working with Dove Cameron and Cameron Boyce; the movie was watched by an audience totaling almost nine million people on its premiere night alone, and was additionally nominated for a Saturn Award in the category of Best Television Presentation.  In that year, Sofia also provided voice recordings for the role of Keemia Marko/ Sandgirl in an episode of “Spider-Man” entitled “Sandman”.

When it comes to her latest projects, she played Sloane in an episode of “Famous in Love”, a television series based on the book of the same title written by Rebecca Serle, and which gave Sophia a chance to work with Charlie Depew, Bella Thorne and Carter Jenkins.

Speaking about her future projects, Sofia will portray the main character, Ava in “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists”, based on the novel by Sara Shepard entitled “The Perfectionists”. The series will follow the story Beacon Heights, a town which seems perfect on the outside, but holds many dark secrets.

Music Career and Video Appearances

As Disney Channel with which Sofia has collaborated often picks out actors who are additionally able to sing, Sofia has been active in that field as well. In 2015 she released the song entitled “Rotten to the Core”, for the soundtrack of “Descendants”, and in the following year “Love is the Name”, which did a mediocre job on the charts, and as of 2017 she recorded “Back to Beautiful”, working with the critically acclaimed musician, Alan Walker. Besides that, she has recorded songs such as “Ways to be Wicked” and “Ins and Outs”, with the latter being released in 2017 through the Hollywood label. Speaking about her appearances in music videos, in 2015 she was featured in the video for the song entitled “Believe” by Shawn Mendes for “Descendants”, which peaked at number one on the US Kid Digital Songs chart

Private Life and an alleged relationship with Cameron Boyce

Unfortunately, we have no information regarding Sophia’s dating history, and as of today, she is reportedly single. Sofia is a close friend of Dove Cameron, with whom she also worked on “Descendants”, and with whom she sang “Space Between”, which was featured on the soundtrack of “Descendants 2”. However, some people believed that Sofia dated her “Descendants” co-star, Cameron Boyce, which was never confirmed by either one of them, and it seems as if they’re just good friends.

Social media

Being active in the entertainment field naturally means that Sofia shares a fair amount of information with her fans through social media. She is active on Twitter and Instagram, and is followed by 600,000 people on the former and almost 10 million on the latter. Additionally, she shares photos of herself and her friends on both accounts.

Sofia Carson News

In one of her most recent interviews, Sofia revealed that her favorite song that she has made so far is “Back to Beautiful”, adding that the song was written for her by Julia Michaels and that, even though it is hard to sing songs that other people have written, she was lucky enough to connect with Julia. The song was described by Sofia herself as an “anthem about how beauty isn’t skin deep”.  Additionally, she has begun working on new music, which she announced through a photo of a studio microphone and the caption: “Hello”, and was vocal about the fact that she wants to make more music, which excited her fans all over the world. In late March, she posted a photo of the cast of “Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists” with the following caption “To our @PLL #ThePerfectionists family, THANK YOU, with every piece of my heart. I am honored to be a part of this journey, I am honored to be your Ava. Until next time, sending you all my love and immense gratitude… Your Sofia”, indicating that the filming of the pilot episode in Portland had ended. As of today, Sofia resides in Los Angeles, California.
