Sofia (Filipino singer)

She graduated from the University of Santo Tomas with a degree in Medical Technology.

[1] Sofia became the featured artist in a bossa-inspired album project of Ivory Records by accident.

After graduating, she was on her way to Japan to pursue her research scholarship grant to study hematology when she was asked to help gather research materials for the project, since she was into bossa nova since she was in high school.

Aside from helping out for the lyrics, CDs, and other research materials, she was also asked to submit a demo tape so that Ivory Records would know what bossa sounds like.

[3] Sofia's second album was released December 28, 2006, entitled In Love With Nova Bossa.

On April 1, 2007, her debut album Bossa Latino Lite reached the gold mark.

The awarding took place on SOP, a noontime television show in the Philippines.

Her influences in music include Cynthia Alexander, Wolfgang, Paulinho Da Viola, Tom Jobim, Paulinho Moska, Big Mountain, The Corrs, Pinikpikan, Bob Aves, and Eraserheads.
