Getting a Record Deal

Prince Royce was so impressed with Sofía's talent that he signed her to his new music label, D'León Records. She was the very first artist to join the label. This was a big step for Sofía, as the label was a partnership with Warner Music Latina, a major company in the music industry.

In 2016, she released her first ballad, "Solo Yo," a duet with her mentor, Prince Royce. This song showed a different, more emotional side of her music.

Her biggest hit came in 2018 with "1, 2, 3," a fun and catchy song featuring Jason Derulo and De la Ghetto. The song became an international success. She followed this up in 2019 with "R.I.P.", another major collaboration with Rita Ora and Anitta.
