Sophia Alaska Reid (born 1996), better known by her stage name Alaska Reid, is a singer, songwriter, and musician from Park County, Montana, an enclave for writers, artists and ranchers of the American West. She went to a one-room schoolhouse and attended voice lessons from the only music teacher in town, singing in musty brown shag carpet basements, bars and even a dirt rink for the Livingston Round Up Rodeo.

Reid began spending more and more time in Los Angeles come late-teens. From age 14, she began gigging around LA. Eventually during her time in LA after becoming fatigued by the way she was seen as a young female singer-songwriter, Reid began to lean into her obsession with loud guitars and fuzz (thanks to her favorite band, Dinosaur Jr.). She formed a band, cold messaged John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile etc...) on Facebook and ended up releasing an album produced by him, entitled Crush. Reid and her band borrowed her parent's minivan and toured around the West while playing the usual LA haunts trying to be grunge. She soon thereafter disbanded her project, feeling restricted and misunderstood as she wrote all the material herself and felt that people were not focusing on her lyrics.

Reid's first single from her debut EP, "Boys From Town", exists as clear amalgamation of her upbringing from Montana to Los Angeles, tying together notes of country and Americana with lightened pop and poignant lyricism. This song arrived ahead of her debut EP, Big Bunny, released on December 11, 2020 via Terrible Records.

Reid's latest single, "Feel the Pain", was released on May 25, 2021, and is a cover version of Dinosaur Jr.'s original song. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
