About this listen

Please note: This memoir is for mature audiences only. It features sexual content, adult language and themes, and brings da ruckus. Discretion is advised. Too hot to handle? Go to the clean version.

Sophia Chang is a badass of the music industry. As the daughter of Korean immigrants in predominantly white suburban Vancouver, she grew up shunning the “model minority” myth. Armed with a fierce sense of independence, she moved to New York City and infiltrated the world of hip-hop, yet remained mostly in the shadows of the artists she supported. With her debut memoir, Sophia Chang is finally ready to grab the mic for herself. This inspiring story spans her adventures in the music business, her path to becoming an entrepreneur, as well as her candid accounts of marriage, motherhood, marginalization, and martial arts.

For decades, she worked behind-the-scenes helping remarkably talented men tell their stories, including rap and R&B stars like the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, GZA, and ODB, as well as A Tribe Called Quest, Raphael Saadiq, and D’Angelo. As an A&R rep in her mid-20s, her world underwent a seismic shift upon encountering a formidable group of nine MCs known as the Wu-Tang Clan. That union would send her on a transformational odyssey, leading her to an enigmatic Shaolin monk who would become her partner, an enduring kung fu practice, two children, and a reckoning with what type of mother, lover, and woman she ultimately wanted to be.

In this Audible Original by Hello Sunshine, Sophia Chang drops knowledge about her motivating journey that took her from record label boardrooms to the Wudang mountains as she built a life shattering biases about Asian women. To this day, she declares she was “raised by Wu-Tang”, and she brings da ruckus as the baddest bitch in the room. At last, her memoir shows the world exactly what that means.

I really enjoyed this autobiography. However, I felt the performance at times was a little melodramatic and I would find it hard to take some of what Sophia was saying, seriously.

Great life story

So fun, inspirational, empowering for a half Asian, music-loving woman who also grew up in bland (when compared to NYC) “burbs” of Vancouver, Canada. Story flows nicely. Love the guest appearances for the dialogue and some of the sound effects so I can see it in my minds eye.

Most of all, this book inspired me to give myself permission to be audaciously me, to pursue the crafts and people I love rather than worry so much about just “getting a job.” It was comforting to hear examples of other women’s experiences of navigating entrenched boys clubs - which inevitably happens when you choose to rise the ranks in pretty much all industries I can think of.

Wonderful memoir and so glad you told your story Sophia because there aren’t as many mentors out there for the female, Asian/North American demographic who follow he creative path.

Fantastic storytelling, production & message

Chang is an amazing storyteller who captivated me with details about her families early years as well as her love for hip hop and the key players. This book gives great insight to great friendships and relationships, as well as growing into your strengths as a woman. Very enjoyable.
