Discography
For my 20th birthday I made a tape of songs I called "Songs from a Box" which I gave to friends and families. I didn't even think of sending it to record labels and am only looking at the professional side of music now. I've written, recorded and produced around 50 songs so far, but none have been released professionally. I've also been remixed several times, and have tried to keep my website updated: www.sophiamale.com

Bio
Sophia was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. From a young age she showed an interest and talent for music, and began writing melodies. She also was interested in acting and performing, so would frequently perform for her peers in plays and lip synch competitions. She took a few piano lessons when she was young, played violin and sang in the school choirs, and got her first guitar at age 16. Like most people she learned her guitar with easy folk songs, so naturally started writing simple guitar songs. When Sophia first heard Cat Power later on in life, she was amazed at how much her early work sounded like early Cat Power, and she became an instant fan.
Sophia is multi-talented, and has a fancy for Renaissance artists. As a result, she has practiced many art forms over the years. She has an extensive photography background, paints impressive abstract oils often compared to Georgia O’Keeffe’s, and took her love for art and journalism into filmmaking. With no money and no planning, she shot, directed, edited, wrote, narrated and produced her debut film “Democracy 4 Dummies” in that order. She was awarded a $4800 grant from the Quebec government to edit the film, and when it was finished, it was picked up by Canada’s biggest distributor the National Film Board. “Democracy 4 Dummies” features her music as well as many friends, and is at www.democracy4dummies.com
Music has always been Sophia’s first love, and while she is currently working as a videographer and editor, she plans on diving into her musical career as much as possible and is writing many new songs with her new style. A few years back she got a VIP345 Farfisa organ with an awesome vintage sound, M.I.A. inspired her to get a Groovebox, and she combines those with her very first purchase as a kid: an adorable Casiotone keyboard. While Sophia has more guitar experience, she prefers the keyboards and is looking to form a band in Los Angeles in 2009.
