Sophia

Sophia's music career started at the age of 10 when she was selected to join the Japanese teen pop group "HappyNs" which resulted in her debut J-Pop single "Realistic". When she was 12, she moved to Victoria, Canada where she continued to pursue her love for music. Sophia found the urge to create her own music.   During the Christmas of 2010, Sophia was given a microphone. She spent countless hours in her room recording covers of her favourite songs. She started posting covers on YouTube and was soon noticed by Prodigy Music Group. Early in 2011, Sophia signed a record deal and became a part of the Prodigy team.   At the age of 16, Sophia had her first single "What You Said" chart at #83 on the Canadian MediaBase Hot AC Charts and #100 in the US MediaBase Top 40 Charts. It was featured on DJ Anyu's mixtape "Essence Vol. 9". For her next release "Sunglasses", Sophia teamed up with award winning producers SA Trackworks (Elise Estrada, Laura Pausini, Ne-Yo, Ray J). Sunglasses charted #72 on the Canadian MediaBase Hot AC Charts and #103 on the US MediaBase Top 40 Charts. It also got a lot of airplay in Indonesia, where it made it up to #3 on the OZ Weekly Top 40 Charts.   In the summer of 2012, Sophia collaborated with fellow singer songwriter A-Lo and producer Steve Kroeger resulting in a song called “Superhero”. A music video with award winning director Alon Isocianu was released in January 2013 coinciding with the single release.   In the late stages of 2012, Sophia teamed up with producer Troy Samson (Victoria Duffield, Cody Simpson, Kelly Rowland, Hedley) and wrote a song titled "Crazy Stupid Love" for release in 2013.   Sophia spends most of her time in the studio honing her song writing skills and writing new music.
