LEAVE A COMMENT Cut the formalities, will ya?! Serpentine Singer Sony: sign Sophia up for another contract Forget Sony, think another major label Attention, major label: Sophia up for Grammy! VOTE Stay Connected with Rock Goddess!
Influences: She [Sophia] didn't know it yet, but the fun was only just beginning. In 1996, Briggs' Squeezebox performances with Psychotica attracted the attention of a promoter for Lollapalooza, who invited them to play on the main stage on the festival's summer tour. Unable to bring along Psychotica's Swedish female rapper because of visa problems, Briggs asked Ramos to fill in. The pay was a disappointing $250 a week, but she couldn't refuse, especially when she learned who else would be on the tour. "It was the Ramones, SoundGarden, and Rage Against the Machine oh my God, I am a f*cking HUGE Rage fan!" So that summer, Ramos became the only female artist touring with one of rock's most historic and popular festivals. Aware of the media criticism over the dearth of female artists on the tour ("I have to agree with the critics that that was fucked up," she says), she still had a blast. She moved from riding the Psychotica van to riding SoundGarden's tour bus and found herself amazed by Chris Cornell's vocal performances. It was also on this tour that she met Metallica's Jason Newsted , with whom she later recorded tracks in San Francisco. Psychotica made a huge impression on the festival audiences. "Pat's a total glam pyrotechnic whiz," she says of Briggs. "He wore a silver skintight spacesuit, and green smoke would be everywhere. I'd come out with my leather jockstrap stuffed with lemons...." she starts laughing, "The crowds went nuts. They loved us." Ramos started receiving her first fan mail on the Lollapalooza tour. Psychotica's performances caused such a buzz that by the time the tour was halfway through, word of mouth had spread and the crowds were eagerly anticipating their show. SOPHIA RAMOS: SERPENTINE SINGER by Michelle Shocked What's amazing about Sophia Ramos is that she has this wonderful background of gospel and R&B styles, but she also likes to just kick ass, because she's a rock 'n' roll baby first and foremost. But I remember her being told by record-company executives, "You should play the music of your people." It was that blunt--because she's Puerto Rican, they didn't think she should play rock 'n' roll. And I was so impressed that instead of being discouraged by them, she had a vision for herself and the kind of music that was true to her heart, which I feel is expressed very well in her band, Sophia's Toy. She didn't stereotype herself even though others tried to. I think Sophia is a poster child for what I call the new omni-American, someone who truly represents American culture. I'm not really a fan of the idea of multiculturalism, but I feel like she's got so much at her fingertips. She offers a real new perspective on the way race figures into pop music today because she has all the cultural references available to her. She's got it all. And if you see the girl dance to salsa, man, she's so fun and lively, she's like a charmed snake. Hugo wrote: Hi, Sophia, - I wanted to say that you have the greatest voice and "Her Majesty" is a great, great, great record. "Esperanza" is my favorite. Plus you are damn, damn beautiful!!!! I am from Puerto Rico. I met Michelle Shocked back in 2000 and when I told her where I was from, she said "oh, my friend Sophia is from Puerto Rico", I said "do you know what part?"- she said "well... from New York" I said "well, we all have the plantain's stain stamped somewhere in us." Then she ended up saying that you were on Short Sharp Shocked and that's when all the pieces came together... the great Sophia Ramos!!! Your voice harmonizing with Michelle on that record is orgasmic. Creates the sound. Keep on, and hopefully you will be touring soon and coming to Atlanta. Take care, Hugo SOPHIA RAMOS: REBEL ROCK GODDESS by Christopher Whaley - SOBO MAGAZINE Imagine a little Puerto Rican girl growing up in the "Boogie Down Bronx," the birthplace of Hip-Hop culture and the stomping grounds to many a talented MC. Instead of regulating herself to a flavor-of-the-month rapper, she took the road less traveled: declared a rage against the machine by becoming a rebellious rock and roller. Her name is Sophia Ramos - and hell hath no fury than this Nuyorican rock goddess unleashing her passion for music that leaves audiences spellbound. "My life would have been so much easier had I latched-on to Hip-Hop," Sophia says. "I have two older sisters and we grew up listening to 70's music which was very diverse." Sophia learned to appreciate artists such as Al Green, Stevie Wonder and Elton John. However at the tender age of 8 years old, she saw the film version of the Who's Tommy and this had a profound effect on her. "Not only was I moved by the story, but when Tina Turner came out as the Acid Queen, that was all it took. I wanted to do this type of music too." Loving rock and roll music and living in the Bronx proved to be difficult for Sophia. She was often taunted and terrorized by her peers. She felt alienated because not only did she know the history of rock music, she knew rock was Black music. "There I was trying to explain this to the kids at school and they didn't want to hear it," Sophia continues. "They were willing to subscribe to this racist format that was created to segregate music. They believed that rock and roll was White music. That's when I decided to do my own thing and I've been doing my thing ever since." It's been stated that Sophia's concerts are like rock and roll happenings. Combining the spirits of Jimi Hendrix, Freddie Mercury, and Mick Jagger, she gives intense performances. Sophia also appeared on the 1996 Lollapalooza tour as a featured vocalist with the band Psychotica. During the tour she honed her "chops" and learned to take command of the stage. Sophia has endured the highs and lows of the music business. She has managed to stand her ground by releasing her music as an independent artist. Her latest offering, Her Majesty, finds Sophia dealing with loss, struggle and sincere honesty. "The music comes from my desire to make a connection with my audience through my voice. There are a lot of feelings going on: rage, survival and hope is there too." SOPHIA RAMOS: Super Latina Rocker Chick: Careful, She'll Kick Your Ass by Inti Janeiro - Latinflava (Y2K) Sophia Ramos' life story has just about been what you'd expect a Rock star's life to be like, one full of heartache and despair interspersed with nights of all out head banging and bottle throwing. Let's not forget the everyday struggles one goes through in life, only in this case amplified about a hundred times, after all she is a Rock star. And Sophia is a star; the world just doesn't know it yet! Standing at 5'6", her mane of curly black hair cascades over a face that can even turn Hip Hop enthusiast into bonafied headbangers and tops off a body that, well, especially when she grabs her breast and crotch on stage, sent me off into the land of make-belief, but that's another story! The point is that Sophia rocks! She lets loose all those years of rage in one guttural and powerful roar with a voice reminiscent of Tina Turner, Gwen Stafani, and (dare I say even) a little bit, just a little bit of that Sade smoothness. And let's set the record straight right now, Sophia is not part of the Latin explosion; she IS the Latin explosion, she's the shockwaves from the Latin explosion, the ringing that will be left in your ears long after the Latin explosion is long gone. America better brace itself! Born in the Bronx back when it looked as bad as those Death Wish movies with Charlie Bronson portrayed it to be, Sophia realized she wanted to sing one day while in the bathroom of her childhood apartment. But, as she put it, life happened and it wasn't until a few years later and after spearheading a religious movement in her home that she made the transition from bathroom to blues bar. Religious devotee? Yes this Bronx bred Rock and Roll Queens first calling was the Lord or his music at least. I was a fanatic , said Ramos concerning her brief exodus into religion. My mother was really passive about religion. I was the one that became a Christian. My family was Catholic. One day when I was 5 my grandmother took me to a Pentecostal church and that was it for me cuz they had a band! They had a drummer, a bass player, a guitar player, a violin player, a conga player and everybody had a tambourine. It was such a great time! For me it was a social scene because my mother was really strict. We grew up in the worst f*cking neighborhood and she would not let us go out, ever! Church was great cuz I could get the f*ck out the house 5 times a week! One day while taking a break from her religious duties she stumbled upon her second calling. A form of expression that was to send her off on yet another journey if not straight to hell, Rock and Roll! I don't mean to sound sappy or spiritual but I think Rock awakened my Kundalini. I'll never forget the 1st time I heard Black Dog by Led Zeppelin. I flipped out! I totally flipped out! I was Pentecostal until I was 12 and when I heard Black Dog it was so rebellious, so rah, and so I'm gonna kick you in the ass and I don't f*cking care! That I think was the ultimate kind of expression for me. I could release my rage in a beautiful way. That's what Rock and Roll said to me! Beautiful? Maybe, but Ramos has had to see a lot of ugly in order to release that rage. It all started with that feeling that seemingly surges through the insides of all future stars, Rebellion. At 16 she ran away from home and walked into a blues bar in The Village, - I don't remember which one , - she claims. As she puts it, I turned it out, I floored them! Since then Ramos has lived the life most aspiring Rock stars dream of; she took on a bad boyfriend, joined his band and rocked dingy blues bars about town where greedy promoters, burly bouncers, flying beer bottles and uncontrollable rage were the norm. When her boyfriend became envious of all the accolades she was getting, he got nasty. That relationship was a mistake! she earnestly claims. Dropping her boyfriend like a bad habit she did like all good future stars do; she turned inward. Ramos' music has never been the same again. She started her own band - SOPHIA'S TOY - and within two years had record labels knocking on her dressing room door. This is Rock and Roll, however, and there remained more twists to come. After having my 1st band together for 2 years we got signed by Epic and we did an album. They dropped us before the album was gonna come out. Literally the A&R guy said, We don't think there's a market for female Rock and Roll, especially for a woman of color. We don't think you'll sell records to kids in Iowa. Well, it seems Iowa and the rest of the world is listening now. Recently voted VHI's Best Undiscovered Artist honor Sophia is on her way to stardom and on her own damn terms! I'm doing this all by myself right now, explains Sophia. I have no manager or anything. Shit, I'm in debt right now! With record labels knocking on her door again and possible deals in the works, Sophia is keeping her hopes up and continues rocking various venues throughout the city. No more dinghy blues bars though, now it's the Lollapalooza tour and, okay, an occasional dingy Village bar. One thing is for sure this time around; no shortsighted A&R or white washed system will get in her way. I grew up under the impression that I had every right to the American dream as well. So you're saying I can't do Rock and Roll? We all know the history of Rock and Roll! Why is it that Britney Spears and all these blonde chicks can do R&B music? I have every right to sing Rock and Roll! I'm great at it and I write great songs, so what's up, it's the 21st century, people are ready! Open wide the doors to Sophia, if you dont she'll knock 'em down! LETTER OF APPEAL to the host of all-chick Radio: by Inti Janeiro Here's something noteworthy to get all bent out of shape for. Something, you being an all out rock loving woman, with a voice, might be interested in. [NDA: tv reality show] has been really interesting this season, but I was surprised to find out that one contestant, a FEMALE rocker with a voice unlike any on the show, really, had her performance totally omitted from the show!!! Whoa! Is it cuz she's a woman? Wait that angle might not clinch any front page space, especially with one contestant baring it ALL online and promoting that fact on the show! What makes this story noteworthy is that 1: this rock chick has been revered in numerous industry and entertainment papers throughout the country for years and is considered one of the best female voices today. 2: She won 2000 VH1's best unsigned artist award and STILL didn't get a record deal, and 3: she happens to be Latina! WHOA! This woman I'm talking about, as if you didn't know, - is Sophia Ramos. Tell me that isn't a story to break on your show. That is of course, unless you want to play it safe for fear of certain resources or advertisers drying up. I doubt that though cuz you're a journalist as well as a female powerhouse, and goin all balls out, even when you don't have any is what rock is all about, right? That's what Sophia has been doin for years, it's about time we get the truth about why it seems, for some unexplained reason this obviously talented woman keeps getting the short end of the stick. For the record I too am a journalist (granted I've been interviewing baseball players) and interviewed Sophia Ramos back in 2000 fresh off her win of VH1's empty honor. It was almost certain, all but assumed she was going to FINALLY get her record deal and be exposed to the world. I have kept up with her music ever since, cuz as a listener of music; I actually liked what I heard. So, I was surprised when I found out [NDA: tv reality show] went ahead and screwed her again. Seriously, what gives? I'm hoping you could shed some light on this. At the very least it makes for a very good topic on your show. What do you think? FAN MAILBAG You know how much we think of you! You are truly the best! S, P & D Big Brother & The Holding Company, San Francisco, California, USA * * * whoa! Your voice is fucking outstanding. Just like Janis. thank god FINALLY!!!!!! I heart Janis Joplin!!! Patsy, MICHIGAN, USA * * * You're clearly a musical force of nature! DAVID LYNCH FOUNDATION, Los Angeles, CA, USA * * * Damn, you do rock Sophia! Right on. Death of Dali, Los Angeles, CA, USA * * * EVH FORUM ( Ollie, SWEDEN) * * * It's about fucking time!!! Finally, a woman who has talent, intelligence, knows how to balls-out rock, AND you have something to say! Where the hell have you been all my life? I'm not going to say there aren't good women rockers. I like PJ Harvey but I have to be in the mood. The same goes for Fiona Apple. I like Alanis sometimes but I usually won't admit it in public. Hans, Oregon City, OR, USA * * * CONTRE TOUS LES STÉRÉOTYPES Hey Sophia, you're the proof that a chick can rock and kick everybody's ass as well!!! Your music just made my day... I can't wait to hear more from you!!! ROCK ON!!! I've become a real fan of yours!! hope one day I'll have the opportunity to see you live in Europe!!! Anne-Laure, French Alps * * * Oh my GOD! Did you come to Phoenix in '96 when it was like a million degrees out and The Ramones got literally blown off the Lollapalooza stage in a blinding dust storm? I remember your voice cut through the heat, the dust, the alcohol and the smoke like a fucking knife. And although that was the WORST fucking storm I've ever seen in my 27 years of going to concerts, I'd gladly endure another for a chance to see you again live. You are absolutely fucking amazing. You say your time has come? Bullshit. I'd say your time is long overdue. You truly are a Rock Goddess whose talent and passion should serve as a much-needed kick in the ass to a music industry that's been drowning in a sea of candy-ass, American Idol insta-pop bullshit for far too fucking long now. Why is it that the so-called music industry seems to care about music about as much as the oil industry cares about the ozone layer? That needs to fucking change. To anyone in the industry who may happen to read this, please, we've had enough of the Kelly Clarksons and the Ashlee Simpsons and others like them that you've somehow managed to foist upon a generation. While inspired, those women can't even come close to Sophia Ramos. Rest assured I'll do everything within my limited sphere of influence to spread the word about your amazing talent. Wishing you the very best of everything in the coming year. El Cynico, Tucson AZ, USA * * * Sexy Sophia, Hope everything is jammin' by you... Talk soon, baby. P.S. Did you ever sing backup for PSYCHOTICA? (1997) If so, then we have met!! Small world, huh?? So cool to see you on "MySpace". I don't expect you to remember this... but about 9 or 10 years ago, there was a interview with you in VIBE Magazine and you were talking about the bullshit you had to deal with a being a female peformer. Your story moved me so much that I wrote a response letter back to u about staying strong and keeping your head up... (signed by Rich T) and VIBE printed the letter in the next issue!.. I guess it worked because you're still doing your thing!!! (lol) Keep on keepin' on and thanks for taking the time to read this... Love and respect! Rich T., EDISON, New Jersey, USA * * * Man, this girl ROCKS!!!! Why she isn't a mega star at this very moment is beyond me. It is bound to happen very soon so stay tuned! Sophia is a hot soulfull rockin' mama on the verge. Folx, tell all of your friends!!! Your time has come, Sophia!!!! Fo' sho! I've been asking my friends "Where has rock and roll gone to?" Sophia is the herald to the re-igniting of the flame of rock! Let it burn baby, let it burn!! Justin Hampton, Seattle, USA * * * I'm really liking your sound... lots of passion... ballsy delivery... HORNS UP TO YOU!!!!!!!! Finally a chick that can rock!!!!!! YOU ROCK, Sophia!!!!!! I noticed that you like Charles Bukowski... I fucking love him... I lucked into finding an audio book read by him called "Run with the Hunted"... awesome!!! Kelly Sundown, USA * * * Bow down to Sophia! LOVE hearing you sing. Always Kelsey, PILLOW THEORY, NYC, USA * * * RAMOS!!! Just a shout out an' a holla to someone with a voice blessed directly from above. In time... It's all good an' God Shyndigg, Digg Deep, NYC, USA * * * She's the High Priestess of Rock 'n' Roll... Her TIME has been Forever & will ever be... The Children of Tomorrow & Ancestors speak to her through infinity... Know the woman musically & be cleansed - healed - reborn... The Music Industry is like America... It's in denial BUT evolution is upon it & us ALL! The music & artistry of Sophia Ramos rings true and has for quite some time... She's fought valiantly & triumphed in spite of constant ineptness all around her! I've seen thousands of people transformed who did not know her for years & they/WE GET IT! It's liberating to know her as I fondly recall casual conversations on corners in NYC'S Greenwich Village about the music business & good friends we've lost... She's a whole beautiful woman spiritually, mentally & of course physically... Like a microcasm of the world the music business & people have an ability to suck your SOUL dry & leave a person for a landfill/garbage dump... Sophia Ramos & her music give you back the world & all that is good when you want to wave a white flag sometimes... Get the music, show her love when you visit here, go see her shows wherever in the world. The accountant-ledger pencil pushers music biz charlatans be damned. Peace, Love & POWER to Sophia Ramos!!! MABILI kregg Ajamu, Rhythm Republik, BRONX, USA * * * Damn i'm really honored. I'm gonna admit something - don't get mad; kregg Ajamu handed me a cd of yours like 3 years ago, and I basically threw it in my stash without giving it any chance. But I'm hearing sh1t on this page that got me like 'why isn't this girl like already working on a followup to a ground breaking major label debut?' I am going to support you hard from here out. AND you're Boriqua? WHAT? Tony, NYC, USA * * * Wow, Sophia!!! Great music and excellent voice!!! Keep representing our island like you've done so far and all the best in the future!!! Jose Valentin, Puerto Rico * * * Hell Yeah.... Boriqua Chica from the BX......

Rock on, like no one else can!!! So good to be in touch with you again. Would love to see you perform again soon. What a powerhouse you are!! Bob Leone, NYC, USA * * * Hey Sophia - Wow - Always up for a new discovery. And forget Sony. Remember, they managed to fumble the Living Colour phenom and let bands like Fishbone & Bad Brains slide through their marketing-challenged fingers too. Stay the course and I'll look forward to the new album in '07. Kev, OR, USA * * * Wow, Sophia! You are such a force! Major label, shmabel...I don't think it's gonna stop your rocket! Here's to you and yes you fuckin rock! Love and Blessings to you! Emily, Melbourne, AUSTRALIA * * * I caught you at the benefit show. You are awesome! I hope all the new technology lets you get your message out since the corporate music idiots would rather keep dumbing us down, or trying to. Stay strong! Eddie Goldman, NYC, USA * * * Yes, Sophia Ramos DEFINITELY rocks!! Please tell me what kind of world we live in when no-talent hacks like those hellish Simpson sisters have major label contracts, movie careers and their own television shows while REAL female Rockers like Sophia labor in the shadows. Of course, Sophia WORKS for what she has, and that work ethic is sadly lacking these days! I'll post an interview and reviews of your cd on my website. You can BET they're gonna be favorable! :-) It`ll all happen for ya, Sophia, just keep doin` what you do best! WSD, West Side Dave, USA * * * Hi Sophia -- Great seeing you and hearing your amazing music here on MySpace! Sony Records doesn't think your music appeals to Mid-America?? Hey I'm in Iowa, where we NEED your music that rocks -- DESPERATELY!!! Best wishes to you in the New Year! PLUR 2 All Derek ;) Burlington, IOWA, USA * * * What was Sony thinking feed us more cornbread? Sorry, Sony, I'm from the deep south and I love this vintage rock style of Sophia Ramos. It just goes back to the lack of innovative marketing by the machine... Whoops, my bad, I'm rambling.. .lol. Peace, much love and respects..:~) Taz, ARIZONA, USA * * * Sophia should so be a Rock Star!!! Wait...!

We would love to have you in the Midwest, come to Chicago and we'll show you love!

YOU ROCK! Manzy, Olympia, WASHINGTON, USA * * * Hola Sophia! I must say I have become a lover of your music now. After listening to it regularly every day, trying to find out which songs I like the most. So, I love them all, but my favourite is "Esperanza" that one is so coool!!!!!!! You have an amazing voice, and WoW.... It's awesome to see a true female rocker these days, I wish you all the success you can get! Finally, a strong female rocker, who is original and doesn't give up no matter what! Unfortuneately I think the music-industry is fucked up at times. I want rock to be back, not Hip Hop and pop, and techno and all of that shit! My dream is actually to become a leader in the music industry so that I could change the industry! But how possible is that, right? I also believe that the industry is quite sad in the way they promote an artist (hint; Britney and so on). It's the music that counts, not how you look naked! I just wish it will end soon, so that pure rock'n'roll will be back! It doesn't matter if a rocker is white, Black, Latino, Asian, whatever, it doens't matter! But some people are not very open-minded and very judgemental. Look at Jimi Hendrix, he was African-American, and he was the greatest musician who ever lived! Also, in my opinion it's even harder to be a female rocker in the music industry, oh God that can't be easy! People should stop categorizing after class, race or even the music we like. I miss rock'n'roll, and thank you, Sophia, for keeping it alive this decade! Your time will come! Peace & Rock on! PS Thank you so much for the cd and the signed card, you put a huge smile on my face! The album rocks, I absolutely LOVE it. From the first song "Black Madonna" until the last song "Stay Here With You". I'm left with wisdom, inspiration and love. Your lyrics are so great, they really capture my attention, it makes me stand up and listen to what you have to say. Your voice is so powerful, it shouldn't be allowed! I can also hear Soundgarden in your sound, they are probably a huge inspiration of yours. But you have your own sound for sure. You're like the female Chris Cornell ! LOVE IT! Also, I think that Sony is afraid of you because you're such a strong and talented and beautiful woman at the same time. And that's a rarety in today's music industry. They don't want to risk anymore, which is stupid. Peace & Love & Rock'n'Roll, Biana, NORWAY * * * HEY SOPHIA U DO ROCK!! BY THE WAY IM SO PISSED U KNOW CHRIS CORNELL AND I DONT. KEEP IT REAL REBEL IN DISGUISE, Indiana, USA * * * Hi Your Majesty Sophia Ramos. I consider you, not only a vocal phenomenon but also a true friend. I have vowed to spread your fantastic talent to everyone and anyone who can hear. You're catching the world on fire step by step and you're on your way to the top! I BELIEVE YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST FEMALE VOCALS IN ROCK MUSIC!!! PS While listening to your cd I actually got goosebumps and tears welled in my eyes. Why Sophia is not more in the public eye is something that is a complete mystery to me and more of a reason that I dedicate myself and my heart into making her seen and heard as much as possible. She has the unique ability in her voice and her emotive expression to conjure actual emotional feelings in the listener/ veiwer. Sophia has a powerful presence that is a culmination of the greatest rock performers of the past and present. In my eyes there is no rock performer on this planet greater or who can make her audience more emotionally affected than HER MAJESTY - SOPHIA RAMOS! SOPHIA YOU WILL BE NOTICED AND HEARD BY THE WORLD! YOUR TIME HAS COME SO TAKE YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE ON THE PEDESTAL AS THE REIGNING RULER OF ROCK! YOU ARE AS GREAT AND GREATER THAN THE GREATEST! I am forever your fan and friend and will give you all the support that a true friend and fan can give! PLEASE NEVER GIVE UP YOUR QUEST! ROCK MUSIC FANS DEFINITELY NEED YOU! I ALSO PROMISE TO DO MY BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE HEARD EVERYWAY AND EVERYWHERE THAT I POSSIBLY CAN! SOPHIA RAMOS ROCKS!!! Burnie, Richmond, VA, USA * * * Had to laugh at your comment about Sony... didn't know how to market an aggresive singer like yourself. Haven't they ever heard of Tina Turner? Suppose they wanted to write your music and change your style too?! Their Loss! Be Strong! THIS IS your year!!! I feel it! Peace Out! Andi Ambrose, North Carolina, USA * * * Sophia Rocks... that's true but it only begins to say it. What a powerfully expressive and beautiful voice. You are everything a woman of rock should be! Lala, Texas, USA * * * Hey Sophia! You don't know how your music is getting me through the day... and I had to let you know :-) Love ya and peace out! Lali, Texas, USA * * * I have not taken your cd out of the player it is on repeat all the way!! It will forever remain in the player! I cannot stop listening! It is just so amazing! I have fallen deeply in love with every single song and lyric! You Have made some Highly inspirational music, Sophia! You rock my socks off! Your music is hardcore I love it! Everytime I hear your voice I'm moved deeply!! You continue to inspire me in my own music career! Every second of every day that goes by from the moment I heard your music I have to include you in the inspiration that has driven me! keep up the amazing work! Much love! Rock On!!!! Forever And Ever! Your friend Wayman, TOOELE, UTAH, USA * * * The passion in your voice melts my soul like butter! You are AMAZING! Seriously talented & sooooo much potential it's sick! Keep dreaming... it's an incredible dream! You're INCREDIBLE! Thanks for making this world a more beautiful & bearable place! Everything they say is true! If you're not the next best thing, I don't know who or what is! Your voice is deep, rich, sultry, fucking rocking & intense. Your passion soothes my soul & your lyrics touch me at the core! You are simply amazing! Damn, I feel you, I feel you, I feel you! I can tell you feel, eat, live & breathe everything you sing & sing about! FUCK YES!

You move me woman.... you move me beyond what words can even express! The heart and soul you put into your music has a life of it's own, one that is saturated to the core with intoxicating passion, empathy, love, and longing! Your music, your voice and raw talent fulfills my every need, from A to Z! SERIOUSLY! I feel you, I feel you, I feel you! Your heart and soul are pure gold & your voice takes me places I've always wanted to go and not many artist's can take me there, keep me there, and leave me begging for more! My God, I can't wait to see what else is in store! You're the fucking bomb.... that's 4SURE! PS Sophia, you total goddess, Muse of Rock & Roll's Majesty! I received your tunes yesterday & I'm completely obsessed with your music & artistry! I knew it was going to be incredible, but it far exceeded my expectations! I played it over and over! I have NEVER had a listening experience where every single solitary song is so unique, so profound & full of unbelievable passion, vocal talent, range, style, grit and most of all, the fact that most CD's you get, you usually only really, really like one or two songs, maybe three, & four, if your lucky! But with you... they're all my favorites! The ones that speak to me the most are, "What I Do Know", "Kill Your Pain" & "Shining Still"! Oh, hell, like I said before... they're all fucking awesome to no end! Thank You sooooo much, my precious friend & amazing artist! You are so full of LOVE, LIFE, PASSION, COMPASSION FOR OTHERS, and you are the next best thing to Janis Joplin! I think you're truly following her footsteps, and definitely carving a path all your own! I adore you hun! Thanks so much! P.S. Please send me some flyers, stickers, pins, whatever! I will make sure everyone and their freakin dog knows about you! PEACE, LOVE & TRUTH - 4-EVER! The new TAGWORLD fanclub that totally ROCKS! xxxooo Joni, IL, USA * * * Sophia rocks really really hard! Best female rocker I've heard in a looong time. Awesome! Romanenko, NJ, USA * * * Hi Sophia, it´s great to see you rock, her majesty! Sounds great! I still remember the good times we had, long time ago on your first German tour. It was shortly after the wall in Germany came down - a great area...remember? I still have a tape with some recording-sessions we did back then... :) Liebe Grüße POETRYCLUB, Berlin, Germany * * * Record Label: Major... pain in (bleep) Type of Label: None |
