Biography
Sophia Ramos ['rah-mos] doesn't just "gig"; that word is too puny to describe her concerts. Sophia's spitfire performances have the aura of once-in-a-generation rock & roll happenings, leaving audiences mesmerized and intoxicated.

Conjuring the combined spirits of Hendrix, Mercury and Jagger, Sophia prowls her stage like a groove-crazed sorceress, wielding her astonishing voice like Luke Skywalker's sword.

She's tough and smart, a showstopper who toured with Lollapalooza performing on the main stage wearing huge KISS boots and a leather jockstrap filled with lemons, which she tossed into the cheering crowd.

Sophia's talents are not news to her fellow musicians.
She's attracted a star-studded list of studio and stage collaborators: Jason Newsted of Metallica; Paul Simon; Karl Wallinger; Billy Bragg; Joey Ramone and Psychotica, with whom she appeared as featured vocalist on their main stage Lollapalooza tour with Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine.

On her stunning CD, "Her Majesty", Sophia confesses loss, struggle, faith and survival with honesty and wisdom.

Indeed, Sophia is the rare composer who has both mastered her craft and tapped the wellspring of universal emotion with sincerity and a mighty dose of brute force. Sophia's impassioned voice - alternately James Brown and Chris Cornell, lyrical insight, and physical charisma empower her infectious melodies.

Her deliverance is nothing short of soul-defining as she breaks traditional barriers of women and of ethnic groups. Sophia is a woman with a heart of gold and a vision of rockn'roll who refuses to be constrained by any predetermined opinions of what she should be doing.
