And that means she understands my vision, too, which is great.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 21-year-old published the song on social media less than a month ago, where she&#8217;s developed a modest fanbase as an unsigned artist \u2014 but &#8220;Rivet Gun&#8221; was different.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was the first time I wrote a song where it&#8217;s like all the lyrics came out like vomit, like it was crazy,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Mother Soki took it to her friends and collaborators.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I brought it to the studio with Jack Pfeffer, Elijah Herchert and Mo Todd. Eljiah rewrote the guitar over my vocals and sort of just made the empty space feel so necessary,&#8221; she said. \u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/19\/7f8bff5a-a402-4961-bc32-5e9c74930034\/thumbnail\/620x349\/4249d59351db68b16bd25e172d27da9b\/mother-soki.jpg?v=f20aa8902dce18e45d5824503b07db36#\" alt=\"mother-soki.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/19\/7f8bff5a-a402-4961-bc32-5e9c74930034\/thumbnail\/620x349\/4249d59351db68b16bd25e172d27da9b\/mother-soki.jpg?v=f20aa8902dce18e45d5824503b07db36 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/19\/7f8bff5a-a402-4961-bc32-5e9c74930034\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/67906ff304691babe3e8ed9211e14dda\/mother-soki.jpg?v=f20aa8902dce18e45d5824503b07db36 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Mother Soki<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                WCCO<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Proud of what they&#8217;d accomplished, she put it out before it was finished.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Let me just post this demo of Rivet Gun.&#8217; Bad idea, but also good idea,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@mothers0ki\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">It was shared more than 100,000 times on TikTok<\/a> in the first 30 hours, and has grown from there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/08W3G3y83p0TLqqjiyKXBk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">It now has 1.5 million streams on Spotify<\/a>, and Mother Soki just signed a deal with Mom + Pop, an independent record label whose roster includes Alicia Keys and Tom Morello, co-founder of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Bringing people in was like the best thing for me and my art, because sometimes you have to ask for help, you know.
