EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
The TikTok creator rode with us through Beverly Hills, shot with us on Rodeo Drive, and told us how she went viral, why music is next, and where she wants to go after December.
Interview by Nightlife Report. Recorded on camera in Beverly Hills.
Most people with a TikTok following in the millions would explain it with a secret, an algorithm trick or a lucky break. Sofie SanFilippo gave us a single sentence:
“It was really just being consistent.”
Sofie SanFilippo
That’s it. No hacks.
We caught up with SanFilippo (@sofiesanfilippo, 4.6M followers on TikTok) rolling through Beverly Hills at night with the camera running, plus a night shoot on Rodeo Drive. She talked about growing an audience, making music, and why the work itself might beat the finish line.
The Takeoff
She remembers the early days of the account the way most people remember a first apartment.
“Especially when I started TikTok, like, I remember, like, it was so exciting to just watch it grow every day and, like, build that community and, like, see it, like, actually happen.”

The Music
Then came the music. And she isn’t new to it.
“I’ve done music for a while.”
Sofie SanFilippo
So why put it out now?
“So why not share it? Because music connects people.”
Sofie SanFilippo
She sees the music as the next build, using everything she learned on social:
“So now I’m taking my skill set of all that and kind of using it towards music, because that’s the next thing that I’m really looking to build.”
Sofie SanFilippo
The Art Part
She also takes a lot of pictures and edits her own work. And she has a theory about why any of it matters:
“…art really brings people together and makes people feel less alone and understood.”

The Process
Ask a creator about goals and you usually get a number. SanFilippo’s answer was about the middle of the journey:
“But, like, doing it and being in the process in the middle of it happening is literally probably better than the outcome.”

What’s Next
Travel. She told us that after December she expects to be moving between a few different countries and cities, with Egypt, Tokyo and Europe on her list. Her reason:
“But I just feel like there’s a lot of the world that no one has seen.”
Sofie SanFilippo
She didn’t give us song titles or release dates, and we’re not going to make any up.
