Sophie Cruz

Sophie Cruz is a singer-songwriter from Salvador, Bahia. She started singing in a local choir when she was 12. In 2017, her single 'Me Ensina' gained attention with its straightforward lyrics about self-acceptance.

That song became associated with LGBTQ+ visibility in Brazil, though Cruz herself tends to focus on the music rather than building a political platform. She followed it with other tracks like 'Pai,' continuing to work in a pop style that feels personal rather than anthemic.

Her music doesn't try to be grand statements. It's more about the small, specific moments that feel true to her experience. She keeps recording and putting songs out, staying grounded in that approach.
