DJ Sophia Cruz has a dream in mind and has always been focused on attaining her goals.
She was born in NYC and raised in CT. From the very young age of four years, she knew her destiny. She told her kindergarten teacher that she dreamed of being a taxi driver.
By the time that she had attained the age of 10, she was able to emulate all the Disney songs to perfection, from this, her curiosity grew. At this age she would sit in her room for hours listening and studying different types of music, from classical to jazz to opera, nothing failed to intrigue her.
Growing older, she began taking professional lessons to hone her skills. There, she learned opera and jazz and her voice took its mature form. Any chance to sing was taken as she sang in school, church, acapella and chamber choirs and took advantage of any singing competition or open mic night.
“Happiness is simple, it’s just doing what you love to do”, she says.
Sophia Cruz’s sound is constantly evolving. She admires female artists with strong voices such as Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera and Etta James. Her love of poetry creates a synergy with her music that brings her performances to have a meaningful energy.
News of her talent spread and she began to work on projects and meet with key people such as Chris Panaghi, accomplished songwriter/producer/remixer having worked with a major label with many different accomplished artistes.
“I feel Sophia has all the right elements to succeed. Her voice has a soulful yet chic sound that will appeal to many different genres. The question is not whether or not she will be a success it’s only a matter of time!” says Chris.
Once you hear the sound of Sophia Cruz, you will be longing for more!
