Biography
"Music isn't just a passion for me; it’s a way of life." – Diana Sophia
From the vibrant streets of Mexico to the heart of New York City, my journey has been one of transformation. I briefly studied at prestigious Mexican institutions like “Conservatorio de las Rosas” and “Escuela Superior de Música”, but my true artistic evolution has been shaped by my self-taught approach to music.
My voice found its home in the grandeur of Mexico’s National Opera House, Palacio de Bellas Artes, where I performed in the chorus for several years, and received a grant from the “International Society of Mexican Artistic Values” (SIVAM) for opera training. While my success in the opera world was initially fulfilling, it also exposed the complexities of a life shaped by trauma and the struggle to follow my true artistic calling.
Moving to New York was an act of autonomy that reshaped my life and deepened my artistry. It led me on a journey of self-discovery, unveiling my authentic voice as a singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist.
In 2019, I began channeling my dark and light experiences into music. My first EP, “Shine”, explores themes of resilience, betrayal, hope, and inspiration. Since then, I’ve released several singles and music videos, including “House of Mirrors”, “Mírala Brillar”, “Sirens”, “I Don’t Wanna Feel”, “Katherina”, and “La Llorona”.
Now based in Brooklyn, I work as an independent artist, recording and performing my original compositions at intimate venues while directing and producing my own music videos and shows. My latest production, “A Mexican Free Holy!,” is a multidisciplinary performance blending original songs, masks, puppetry, visuals, and a live band. It tells the story of a woman who leaves her country to rebuild her life in New York City after trauma. Through many challenges, she discovers her resilience, true power, and strength.
My journey is a testament to the healing power of music. As an artist, my goal is to inspire healing and uplift others by sharing my story as a female immigrant who has faced and overcome adversity.
Rooted in the belief that music can transform lives, I am committed to fostering resilience and creativity within communities. Through my art, I aspire to encourage others to embrace their journeys, find strength in their stories, and contribute to a brighter, more inclusive world.
