Early life and education[]

Son was born in Hamilton, Montana but grew up in Washington state. She attended Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle where she majored in classical music before changing her major to musical theatre. She ultimately dropped out during her second year.[2][1]

Career[]

In 2018, Son was approached by director Sean Baker outside a screening of Gus Van Sant’s Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot at the Arclight Hollywood Cinema. Baker asked her to audition for his upcoming film but did not call her back for two years.[3] When Baker discovered that she taught piano, he wrote a scene for her to sing a slow ballad cover version of the NSYNC song "Bye Bye Bye". Son also performed an original song in case they were unable to secure the rights to the song, but all five members of NSYNC approved of the cover.[4] Son's version was released on various music streaming services to promote the film.[5][6][7]

She has been nominated for a Gotham Award for Best Breakthrough Performer[8] and an Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress.[9]

She has been cast in the HBO music-industry drama series The Idol opposite The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp.[10]
