If there’s one person Sophie Simmons would call on torock n’ roll all nightwith it would be her rockstar father,Gene Simmons.
“I’m sure my grandma quietly dreams of this, as well, but we’ve never talked about it,” she says. “I’ve recently asked him if he wanted to write a song with me because we’ve just never written together. It would be such a shame to go our whole lives and never have written a song together.”
However, if Sophiewasable to get her father in the studio for one last song, she revealed it would be more of an intimate father-daughter recording session, as opposed to a track to grace the ears of KISS fans around the world.
“My whole family’s really musical, so I always thought we should do that, but I think it would be more just be for us and less for the public.”
For now, Sophie is dashing through the speakers with her new holiday-themed single. On Monday, theGene Simmons Family Jewelsstar released her latest song “Courage for Christmas,” which puts a deeper spin on the typical “happy” holiday tune.

“My management actually asked me in July if I wanted to write a Christmas song, which is weird that it’s the middle of summer, but that’s when you start,” she says. “I started writing it and then it got a little dark, and I was like, ‘You know what people never talk about on the holidays? The unrequited love or like the things that they never said to people that they wished they had said.'”
But Sophie adds thisisn’tyour traditional Christmas song: “Every Christmas song is so happy!”
“Courage for Christmas” follows the release of her past singles like “Black Mirror,” “Paper Cut” and “If I Could.”
