Biography
Sophia Metz, born in France in 1986, grew up in a gaming-enthusiast family. As a teenager, she developed coding skills and co-founded Barcraft Europe with friends, enabling bars to stream esports. For a brief period, she has also worked as a music photographer and advertiser.

Metz is the co-founder of an e-sports bar chain, named Meltdown. In 2012, she opened a bar in Paris's République district, and due to its success, expanded to Berlin and London in 2013. The demand for similar establishments led to the Meltdown's franchising, starting in Montpellier. As of 2019, there are twenty-three Meltdown bars in cities such as Dijon, Nantes, Marseille, Toulouse, and Nancy.

In 2019, Sophia Metz partnered with Mikkey Dee to launch Alabama, a rock-themed bar.
