Sofia has returned with a brand new track, the Kandylion remix of ‘Untamable’. The original mix previously featured on Sofia's debut EP Once Upon A Time.
'Untamable (Kandylion Remix)' premiered on Gay Times and you can stream and download the track for free via Sofia's SoundCloud channel.
The video for EP track and single Friendly Little Ghost premiered on The Huffington Post and you can watch it now on Sofia's YouTube channel.
Originally produced Daniel Cantor, who’s recorded with esteemed acts such as Alison Krauss and Wyclef Jean to name but a few, ‘Untamable’ takes on a completely new lease of life with this remix, with a pumping house beat and high energy chorus. It’s already causing a storm on dance floors in New York City, and it’s set to make an impact once it’s unleashed on the UK.
Kandylion is an up-and-coming DJ and Producer working in the Brooklyn and NY LGBT circuit. She studied alongside Sofia at Berklee College of Music and regularly DJs parties at prominent New York City venues such as Webster Hall, Littlefield, and Iron Bar. She has also produced other upcoming tracks tracks with a number of NYC and Boston based artists including Janet Krupin, Matr and XNY.
Sofia is half Venezuelan and half Lebanese, giving her a wealth of influences to draw from. Both countries are considered third world, dealing with issues of violence, political turmoil and corruption. As a result she feels a sense of duty and social responsibility and considers herself an advocate for social change and World peace. Her debut EP, Once Upon A Time, was released in March 2014, and was recorded after a long battle with Crohn's disease in her third year at college. She wanted the songs to represent her story, hence the EP’s title - after all, all songwriters are story tellers.
With Sofia’s next single, Ice Cold Love, due for release 18th May 2015 while she puts the finishing touches to her debut album In The City, 2015 looks set to be her biggest year yet.
