Kicking down walls and barriers, she has reinvented Neue Deutsche Welle for a new generation, singing in English, French and German. Sofia has been performing throughout the USA and Europe since signing to Berlin label Duchess Box Records, and the album proudly wears influences of German 70s and 80s music with inspirations from Ingrid Caven and Hildegard Kneef to international artists like Yma Sumac and David Bowie.
