About Me


Sofia Bilozor is a gifted singer/songwriter from Winnipeg, Manitoba. She plays the guitar, bandura, piano and several percussive instruments. Sofia won the title of Ukrainian Festival Idol from Dauphins National Ukrainian Festival held August 2005. Since then she has played at a steady barrage of weddings, pubs and casinos. Currently she has just released her full length Ukrainian folk song CD "Enchanting Melodies". Sofia brings her talents developed through a diverse musical background and the influence from a wide variety of styles that ranges from classical and jazz to exotic flamenco music from Spain. Sofia has a new and fresh world flavour sound including bandura pieces, bili holos voice singing, flamenco fusion with ukrainian gypsy and even a pop remix! Her music is soulful and passionate and will catch the attention of any song lover.
