Sophia Galaté is not just a voice—you feel her when she sings. With a rich, velvety tone, and lyrics that hit like late-night confessions, Sophia blends the golden soul of yesteryear with the vibrant pulse of today. Her genre-bending sound—rooted in R&B/Soul and infused with pop, — she creates a sonic world that’s both deeply personal and universally resonant. She doesn’t just write songs; she scores the emotion of your life.
A true artist’s artist, Sophia has performed on international stages and collaborated with some of the most talented creatives in music. Her debut EP SOFIA introduced the world to her genre-defying style and was followed by a live album with the acclaimed LA jazz-fusion collective Katalyst. She's been featured on top editorial playlists across Spotify, Apple Music, and TIDAL, spotlighted on Spotify’s Fresh Finds and R&B Rising, and praised for her ability to move effortlessly between silky ballads and groove-heavy anthems.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Sophia grew up steeped in the sounds of Motown, Sinatra, Sade, and Carole King. She discovered R&B and neo-soul on her own and was immediately hooked, finding a sense of self in the voices of D’Angelo, Amy Winehouse, and the empowering vulnerable ballads of Adele and P!nk—artists known not just for their technical brilliance, but for their emotional depth and storytelling.
She studied music in Chicago, where she fell in love with jazz. After college, despite always dreaming of being an artist, she pivoted to the business side of the industry--thinking it was too hard to be a singer. She worked at a touring agency and managed artists under her co-founded company The Nucleus—but eventually realized the artist within her could no longer be silenced.
Now fully in her artist era, Sophia writes songs about love, heartbreak, healing, emotional detachment, self-discovery, sensuality, and choosing yourself—even when it’s hard. Her lyrics are raw yet refined, delivered with a vocal elegance that turns vulnerability into power. Whether she’s confronting the ache of anxious attachment or capturing the high of falling for someone you shouldn’t, Sophia creates music that holds space for all the complexities of being human.
She has opened for artists such as JoJo, Soulection, Kenyon Dixon, Gene Noble, Rozzi, Son Little, and Loony, and has graced major festival stages including Lollapalooza. Her headline shows in Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, and London have all sold out, a testament to her growing global community. She’s also been invited to speak on panels and podcasts about artist independence, creative entrepreneurship, and the evolving landscape for women in music. Sophia Galaté is building her legacy her way—one honest lyric, one unforgettable performance, and one soul-shaking harmony at a time
