SophieHunter.mp3 Sets the Stage with Style

Opening for Prof, Sophie Hunter (sophiehunter.mp3) kicked off the night with undeniable presence and a sound that defies easy categorization. Hailing from Brooklyn, the alt-pop-rap artist brought a fearless presence to the stage, instantly grabbing the crowd’s attention with her sharp flow and magnetic confidence. From the very first track, Sophie delivered bold, unapologetic vibes; what some might call "cunty" in the best, most empowered sense of the word, especially during her song, CVNT, which was a crowd favorite.

The audience fed off her energy - dancing, singing along, and fully embracing her raw, attitude-laced storytelling. Every moment of her set felt authentic, as she used her time on stage to channel personal attitude into songs that were both relatable and fiercely individual.

From Feelings to Fire 

Next up was Seattle’s own Grieves, who brought a deep emotional current to the night with his signature blend of raw lyricism and melodic flow. A veteran of the underground hip-hop scene, Grieves has built his name on vulnerable storytelling - tackling everything from addiction to heartbreak with unfiltered honesty. Since dropping his debut Irreversible back in 2007, he's carved out a space that’s all his own, taking time to evolve, pause, and come back stronger. His set was a reminder of why he’s still a respected voice in indie hip-hop—authentic, reflective, and impossible to ignore.

As Grieves stepped onto the stage, a buzz of anticipation rippled through the crowd. He opened with soulful, melodic tracks that immediately drew the audience in, showcasing his signature blend of introspective lyricism and smooth delivery. With songs that touch on the raw realities of life and the emotional weight of simply getting by, Grieves struck a deep chord with listeners. As the set progressed, the energy steadily built—each track hitting harder, each moment drawing the crowd in closer. His connection with the audience was unmistakable, setting a powerful tone and elevating the atmosphere in the room before Prof made his entrance.

With a mix of crowd favorites alongside deeper cuts, the audience knew every word and couldn’t contain their energy, moving and singing along with every beat. Prof gave it his all, so much so that he had to pour water over his head multiple times to stay cool as he tore across the stage.

Commanding the crowd with undeniable presence, he encouraged fans to cheer, dance, and perform along with him, turning the venue into a high-energy celebration. Between songs, Prof took time to joke with the crowd, expressing his gratitude and creating a genuine connection. One of the night’s highlights came during “Dynamite,” where he rallied the audience into a full group participation, captured by the videographer for a moment the crowd won’t soon forget.
