Heather Besignano

Born in Greenville, South Carolina, Sophia has always wanted to share her love of singing with the world. Sophia made her journey to Memphis, Tennessee from California at the age of 5 where she auditioned for her first show. After blowing the judges away with her performance of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" she began working with infamous vocal instructor, Bob Westbrook, former teacher to Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears Lance Bass, Chris Young, Lucy Hale, Olivia Holt, Peyton List and many more! Sophia took her singing career to the next level with her performance in 2013 at various events including the Delta Fair. By 2014, Sophia won in the national competition, IPOP, and in 2017 found herself in the main showcase at the Mike Beaty Model & Talent Expo in Dallas, TX. After her many accomplishments as a young singer, she launched her path to creating original music with the support of Platinum Record music producer Marc Williams of Indasoul Entertainment, and Sony/ATV music producer Christopher 'C-Ray' Roberts of OnKey Entertainment! Additionally, she has been mentored by 2022 Grammy-Award Winner Autumn Rowe (Best Album for ‘We Are’ with Jon Batiste) for the last 6 years, who has worked alongside Sophia homing in on her writing skills and sound.
Sophia's most notable hits include Close to Me, I'm Good (2021), Not That into You (2020), Beside Me (2019), and Can't Stop Thinking About You (2018). All of Sophia's songs are featured on Spotify- where she has over 200,000 monthly listeners, as well as on Apple Music! She is thrilled to announce her new song and music video, Kiss and Tell, which is set to release on June 10th!
Sophia feels passionate about both her Latina and American heritage and is striving to incorporate both languages into her music. She also feels strongly about including her personal experiences in her music to connect with her audience. Her hit single, Beside Me, was written to encourage her fans to feel empowered and always express their individuality! Sophia is an avid supporter of the Thirst for Life project- an organization that builds wells in Africa for people who do not have access to clean water. In addition to the Thirst For Life project, Sophia loves to perform and has gone on to sing the national anthem for the Memphis Grizzlies and the Memphis Redbirds!
