WHAT IT IS: With 2b+ streams and counting, Sofia Carson is carving out a singular path in music, film, TV and philanthropy. The songstress recently paired up with Stargate—the Grammy-winning duo behind hits from Rihanna and Beyoncé—and Jeff Jones for her latest release, “Fool’s Gold,” which marks a major evolution for this force of nature. One of UNICEF’s newest U.S. Ambassadors, Carson was also named a Revlon Global Brand Ambassador, debuted her own makeup collection and has an upcoming fragrance launch. She made her feature-film debut last year in Netflix’s Feel the Beat and will appear in the new Michael Bay thriller, Songbird.
