About Me

{}
Nineteen year old, Sophie Mendoza. Born and bred in devon, is hoping to become the next big thing.
With the help of Wendy and Jonathan Joseph this dream could become a reality. From a small age Sophie has loved nothing else but to sing, however the voice you hear now, if you can believe it, she didn't know she had it in her, however at the age of seventeen Wendy and Jonathan Joseph took her under their wing and have been showing her the ropes for the last year and a half. Now understanding the ways, she's putting together an album with Wendy and Jonathan who have inspired Joss Stone especially as Wendy is Joss's mother.
Along the way Sophie has wrote and played alongside some talented musicians, lyricists, and a fantastic singing coach, Sarah Cunningham. They have all given her experience for the big, hard world of the music industry.
Having her funky, soul tunes under her belt she is now performing, trying to put herself out there. Also throwing in some covers of the greats. However sorry for the delay to view them on here, for they are still being prepped in the studio.
Motown is a great love of Sophie's and has been brought up with listening to the likes of otis reading, Lional Richie, Four tops, the list goes on.
Sophie's rich warm tones and her energy on stage is an electrifying performance, not to be missed. Especially with the band that is backing her at the moment; The resolution. these versatile Teignmouth lads have been a session band for Sophie for the last few months. Also helping with her soul feel is a talented singer, songwriter Kym Reader who now plays saxophone for Sophie. So this lot will defiantly tickle your taste buds.
10 radio and Exeter Fm have had her on their shows, having a chat and singing her latest songs. When dates come through for an interview, be sure to check, so you can have a listen, and see if you like her for yourselves. Also Sophie's dates for upcoming events are on her calender above.
Look forward to seeing you there!
