check_circleVerifiedSophia is a very professional vocalist and working with her is always smooth and fun. Again she offered several variations, so I had options. I hope we have the chance to continue our collaborations in future projects.
check_circleVerifiedGreat to work with, Sophia has a really unique tone to her voice which can really lift a track & make it stand out

It was a great pleasure to work with Sophia. I became aware of her through her beautiful voice. As my song was kind of experiment transforming and merging classical elements into/with hip hop and rap she helped me with creative ideas to get ahead. She recommended a rapper and synchronized rap and her own vocals. Collaboration was easy and fun. The experiment was successful and a great song was created. I'd be glad to do further projects with Sophia and her team. Many thx to Sophia, Abi and Tim.
