Sofía Reyes
Sofía Reyes (born 25 September 1995) is a Mexican pop singer and songwriter.[1]
Reyes was born in the northern Mexican city of in Monterrey, Nuevo León, and like several now established recording artists, she was discovered by way of YouTube.[1] The young musician, who started singing and playing the piano at just under ten years old, would upload videos of herself covering songs which eventually managed to capture the interest of American singer Prince Royce, who went on to sign Reyes with his then newly created music label D'León Records. As the first ever singer signed to the label which Royce made possible in partnership with Warner Music Latina in order to "support other young talent in their development," Reyes launched her debut single "Now Forever" (featuring American rapper Khleo Thomas) in 2013.[2]
Reyes, who is known for her upbeat bilingual (Spanish and English) lyrics, afterwards got together with Puerto Rican singer Wisin and German producer Toby Gad to co-write the single "Muévelo," which was released on August 2014.[3] Her subsequent single "Conmigo (Rest of Your Life)" was launched the following year. The music video for the latter song sees American singer/actor Kendall Schmidt of Big Time Rush and Heffron Drive making an appearance as Reyes' love interest on a secluded beach.[4]
