Sophia Galaté is a singer and musician from Los Angeles, CA. She began singing and performing since she was a young girl. Growing up, she developed a deep love and understanding of music by listening to Motown and Frank Sinatra with her father, and an appreciation for lyricism and songwriting by singing along to Carole King with her mother. At the age of 9, Sophia remembers hearing John Legend’s ‘Ordinary People’ for the first time and it was at that moment that she discovered her passion for both playing piano and singing. This love of music followed her throughout her schooling, frequently performing with a confidence and comfortability that was rare at such a young age. She continued to study music at college in Chicago, and fell in love with the city that helped cultivate her love of jazz. Upon graduation, Sophia returned to Los Angeles and switched her attention to the other side of the music industry, management and development.

Over the past few years, Sophia has helped guide the careers of talented artists (Soulection, Pell, Durand Bernarr) through her own company, The Nucleus, a company she co-founded with three other women. While Sophia loves working with these performers, she felt it was time to put forth her own creativity and talent, and begin her career as an artist. In late 2020, Sophia released her first single, ‘Body’, and finally allowed the world to hear her own voice for the first time.
