About

After returning to her hometown of Varna, SOFIA, has dived into full time creative mode. A singer and multi-instrumentalist, she divides her musical time between her own music and her love for rock and Jazz. Her latest interesting work is the two full-length albums in original style inspired by 90s grunge and 80s synth pop – Return (2019) and Open Your Eyes (2020) comprised of all original music, composed, arranged, written and performed by her. Both are available online on Spotify, Bandcamp and all major platforms. She currently performs in her home city with a jazz duo and a rock band, where she has the opportunity to give life to her own music.

Elegant, moody and emotive slice of melodic electronic-pop. It is smouldering with emotion as it gently flows through a dreamy world of mellow undulation and cosmic vibes – it is lush, moody and alluring. “
