At 20 years old, Sofía released her first solo single: Before I Forget What’s Love (2019), a debut in English that was a statement of intent. And the young woman is capable of composing both in Spanish and in the Anglo-Saxon language.

In the last year, she has been living between Madrid, Barcelona, Miami and Los Angeles. Her biography reads as follows: “As a composer, her music talks about personal growth, love and care from a broad perspective. When writing, she is inspired by everything that happens, sees, feels or hears. She believes in music as a whole: sound, message, concept and art. The great divas of pop, musical theater, hip-hop/house and the queens and kings of blues, soul and jazz have a great influence on her.

Precisely, among his leading artists are Beyoncé, Masego, Jorja Smith, Mahalia, Teyana Taylor, Christina Aguilera, Etta James and James Brown, as he revealed in a recent interview with Vein Magazine.
