Career
2015-2016: Career Beginnings
From August 2015 to July 2016, Sophia sang at bars, weddings, and private functions around Kuala Lumpur to gain confidence in her live singing, where she mostly sang cover songs in a wide array of genres such as Pop, Jazz, R&B and Country, by artists like Amy Winehouse, Norah Jones to more current artist like Ed Sheeran, Rihanna and Adele. During this time Sophia developed her singing style and a versatility in singing a wide range of musical styles.

In late 2016, Sophia started to seek opportunities to get her songs recorded professionally and she chanced upon a collaboration with Malaysian DJ, Songwriter and Producer Cuurley aka Bo Amir, with whom she co-wrote the English song "Go" released in November 2017. The song in Pop EDM's genre ended up being influential in the direction of music Sophia would be creating in from then onwards.
