At the beginning of November 2007, Sofia attended and performed at the Thessaloniki Song Festival with the song "Anikse Tin Porta" (Open the door). In Fall 2008, she made her Greek market debut, releasing a two track CD single titled "Pote" (Never). "Pote" is a pop ballad written by Greek-Swedes Nektarios Tyrakis, Dimitris Stassos and Irini Michas. Stassos had previously written "Hypnotized".

An album album packed with brilliantly produced pop/rock songs and features a bonus track of Skid Row’s ‘Wasted Time’ with an Evanescence-esque modern touch that closes the album in a very metal way.

3) Sofia is a 22-year old bossa singer in the Philippines. She became the featured artist in a bossa-inspired album project of Ivory Records by accident.

Aside from helping out for the lyrics, CDs, and other research materials, she was also asked to submit a demo tape so that Ivory Records would know what bossa sounds like. Sofia submitted a demo tape of the song "Desafinado". The record company was impressed, and then she was tapped to be a session singer. Eventually she was chosen to be the featured artist for the album.
Her debut album, entitled Bossa Latino Lite, debuted at number 11 at Tower Records’ Top 25 albums chart and it was certified gold on April 1, 2007. Sofia's sophomore album was released last December 28, 2006, entitled "In Love With Nova Bossa".

Sofia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can't deny that you like what you see
Don′t need a reason, I know what I'm doing
But I don't know if you′re ready for me
Turn the music on and play another song
Leave it all behind, get out of your mind
Hypnotized, oh I just wanna move my body
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, won′t stop what I'm doing
I′m ready to dance the night away
Ready there's nothing in my way
Don′t try to tell me that I can't be shining
You better know I′m not standing in line
Out of my way, I can't wait any longer
And I don't care if you′re ready or not, no
Turn the music on and play another song
Feeling so alive, don′t think I can hide it
Hypnotized, oh I, I see you looking at me
Hypnotized, oh I just wanna move my body
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, won't stop what I′m doing
I'm ready to dance the night away
Ready there′s nothing in my way
It's so contagious, you got nowhere to hide (No)
Everywhere that I go it′s getting louder
It's so outrageous, a roller coaster ride (No)
Here we go, let it go, wanna set the night on fire
Hypnotized, oh I, I see you looking at me
Hypnotized, oh I just wanna move my body
Hypnotized, oh I, I'll have you begging for more
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Won′t stop what I′m doing
Oh... hypnotized, oh I
Hypnotized, oh I, ah...
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, won't stop what I′m doing
I'm ready to dance the night away
Ready there′s nothing in my way
