Early Life & Career Beginnings
Sofia Camara was born on Terceira Island in the Azores, Portugal, and moved with her family to Toronto, Canada, where she was raised. She began writing songs at the age of 13 and spent her teenage years busking in Toronto subway stations, honing a voice that would soon find a much bigger audience.
Her turning point came on TikTok, where her covers of stars like Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift went viral. The clips earned her a devoted online following and caught the attention of Universal Music Canada, which signed her alongside 21 Entertainment.
Rise to Fame & Recent Work
Camara’s breakout moment arrived in 2024 with “Who Do I Call Now? (Hellbent),” followed by “Girls Like You,” which climbed into the Top 5 at Canadian radio and spent more than 20 weeks on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. She has since released the EPs Was I(t) Worth It? (March 2025) and Hard to Love (October 2025), ahead of her new six-track EP Still Somewhere Here, out October 9, 2026.
The summer of 2026 has been a landmark festival run: All Things Go, Rock in Rio Lisboa, Pinkpop, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and Lollapalooza Berlin, plus a support slot for Bastille at Cardiff Castle. She follows in the footsteps of fellow Canadian hitmakers like The Weeknd — whose “Blinding Lights” lyrics remain a fan favorite — and a new generation of pop storytellers such as Olivia Rodrigo. Early 2027 brings the “Sincerely Yours Tour,” a 14-date UK and Europe run with tickets on sale from October 9.
