“Sophia Radisch is the kind of songwriter and performer blessed with a golden voice and universal appeal who understands her musical vision and brings an undeniable talent to the process. She’s a joy for any listener to discover – a soul trader in genuine energy, aiming straight for the heart. Sophia turns a watchful eye to the pageantry of emotion, the drama of love and the mysteries of everyday life with a disarming mixture of sincerity and cosmic insolence, unapologetically romantic, spinning golden threads of lyric and melody, each inflection and melisma planned and considered, each word tailored for meaning and effect. She delivers it all with carefree charm and nearly divine intuition. Her voice, at times so ethereal, is shot through by strength and sinew and just a hint of transient grit. The feeling is cut deep, leaving any listener thunderstruck and enchanted.” Review by Rick Jamm, The Independent Music Magazine.

“…My songwriting tends to be soulful, sensual and fantasy-like in nature; driven by my passion for the guitar. I am influenced mostly, but not exclusively, by classic rock, alternative rock, R&B and Soul. My music is an eclectic mix of genres, that is very alt rock/soul rock in nature. I follow my heart and intuition, and in this way, my musical gift speaks to me, and then I share it. And, that is how the creative process works for me…”

“…powerful rock hooks, and the lyrical content from this young woman is reminiscent of powerful female rockers…” Review by Kimberly Weiss, Band Reviews @ Music Connection Dayton.

Sophia is a wonderful actor to work with, she takes directions really well and comes prepared understanding her character. She likes to fully understand her character and what the character needs to achieve in front of the camera. She is also able to adapt to changes on set, besides the talent her outgoing personality made her a favourite on set, and all the crew members took great pleasure in working with her. I have high hopes for her. richmond.obeng@gmail.com Writer/Director/Producer “The Helping Hands” PSA Anti-Bulling

Sophia’s natural charisma and drive lead me to cast her in “Thirteen Downs”. Her ability to take direction and use the motivation she was given to develop her character, during her audition and on set, made it that much exciting to work with her. Even at the young age of 13, she was able to demonstrate professionalism, raw emotion and striking talent, musically and theatrically. Sophia is a natural born performer. karim@splitklips.com

Sophia Radisch. Remember that name. She’s a singer, a songwriter and an actress whose many gifts are filtered through a sunburst of pure energy that makes you wonder what they’re feeding 14-year-olds these days! That’s right, fourteen, and she’s already got it going on. Not just another karaoke-glutted parrot, Sophia knows who she is and won’t relax until the whole world gets it. She’s centred, smart, funny and, in my opinion, a star. It will be joyous thing to watch this career, and this vibrant young life, unfold.

Sophia blows my mind. She’s 14 going on 25. She’s got a “look,” but much more importantly, she has the talent. She’s smart and ballsy (and utterly charming on stage); she can act dramatic parts with total conviction, sing from the heart, and make the world fall in love with her. Five or six years from now, when the world does know about her, I’ll be proud to say I gave her her first glass of wine!
Cheers, love — Richard, with admiration and affection. Richard
