She has been singing her whole life, participating in choirs from elementary through high school and majoring in jazz and opera performance in college. Currently, she is working with a producer in Nashville to release an album and appreciates the support she has received from fans for her music.
Musical Style and Performance
Sophia describes her preferred musical style as a blend of blues, rock, and jazz, aiming for a sultry and sexy vibe.

The host relates this to her own background in professional ballet, noting the similarities in performance and the discipline required.
Acting and Discipline
Sophia discusses how the discipline from her background in singing translates to her work, making her open, available, and determined.

Cosplay and Transformations

The transformation involved full red body paint, horns, prosthetic ears, and drawn-on abs. The process took three hours, including layers of highlights and shadowing.
