Sophie Allen

SVP Live & Creative - Rolling Stone

A moment in your career when you really backed yourself.

“Everything we are doing in the live space at Rolling Stone is brand new.

Some of our concepts take some convincing but I am very lucky to have a great team and leadership who support my (sometimes crazy) ideas.”

One thing you’re proud of in your career.

“Taking musicians on musicians from the apollo to the beacon theatre was a career highlight.

I have always wanted to produce a show there and to have Jack and Hayley (Williams) play our first sold out event there was really magical. ”

Name another woman in music who inspires you, and why.

“Shirin Nury.

We have been both industry and real life friends for a very long time.

Seeing everything she has built with Gracie and the rest of her roster is inspiring.

She is a wonderful kind human and never seems frazzled.

I am proud to call her a friend and excited to watch her career continue."
