Other colleagues also lend her a hand every now and then: Danny Vera was so fond of her song Perfume that he played it on Radio Veronica; it led to a performance during the Veronica Express and that in turn to Matthijs Draait Door. There, radio jock Rob Stenders praised her song Midnight, which was immediately added to various playlists after its release in February 2023. Sophia writes many new songs together with guitarist Arthur Stoker and keyboardist Luuk van Kesteren, both part of her band. Not only for themselves, but also for others: from Nicky Romero and Bibi Breijman to Children for Children. Sophia provides support for Roxeanne Hazes and Blackbird, jams and writes with Judy Blank. “There’s a lot to come,” she says enthusiastically. “I feel like I’ve only just started and that there’s finally a plan behind it. And I can’t wait for every next phase.” She has a clear vision of her ambition: “From now on I want to be able to make a living from music. Playing cool festivals, filling large halls, especially a lot of live performances. And then go to work internationally, write for big names and win a Grammy one day. Enough to do!”
