Sofia Richie Knows Dad Lionel's Songs 'Word For Word'

Sofia Richie chats on her phone while out and about in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Thursday afternoon (February 19).

The 16-year-old emerging model just returned from New York Fashion Week after attending a few runway shows.

Even though she’s breaking into the modeling world, she actually wants to sing, like father Lionel Richie

“I grew up watching my dad be a singer, so it’s something I’ve always been interested in. The past three years I’ve really been studying writing, and I take vocal lessons every day,” Sofia recently told Nylon.

She added about knowing all of her father’s songs, “I know his songs. Word for word. I’ve been to thousands of shows.”
