SOPHIYA is a queer, bilingual rap artist and producer from Sydney who fuses trap, Jersey club and tech house into a sultry, aggressive mash of juicy, slick dance-floor bangers.
Her resume includes collabs with YNG MARTYR ('They Say') and JessB ('Kween Energy') alongside such cuts as 'Chief O'Kief', 'Greeko Freako' and 'White Ivory'. Her songs have been used in soundtracks for Disney's 'Goosebumps' and Netflix's 'Elite', while her music has also featured in a number of major advertisements for the likes of KFC and McDonalds.
SOPHIYA's next release '2MUCH$' lands soon.
SOPHIYA has become a force to be reckoned with, having cemented her claim as one to watch, which she will showcase this weekend with a special Great Southern Nights showcase at Mary's Underground in Sydney (23 March) with support acts Jubahlee, Dads Mayo and Pole Icon.
