Sofía Reyes (born 25 September 1995) is a Mexican singer-songwriter and actress.[1]

Early life

Reyes was born in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey, Nuevo León, into a supportive family. Her father, Hernan Reyes, discovered her musical potential at age 8 and began taking her to music classes. By the age 17, Reyes migrated to Los Angeles to pursue her dream of becoming a singer[2] and, like several other established recording artists, she was discovered on YouTube.[1]

Music career

The young musician, Sofía Reyes, who started singing and playing piano when she was under ten years old, would upload videos of herself covering songs, which eventually managed to capture the interest of many, including Latin American singer Prince Royce, who went on to sign Reyes with his then newly created music label D'León Records. As the first singer to be signed to the label Royce created 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.[3]

Reyes, who is known for her upbeat bilingual (Spanish and English) lyrics, partnered with Puerto Rican singer Wisin and German producer Toby Gad to co-write the single "Muévelo," which was released in August 2014.[4] 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.[5] In January 2016, Sofia released her third single "Solo Yo", a heartfelt ballad and her first singing collaboration with mentor Prince Royce. Both are featured in the official music video.[6] Then after a series of on-going stints, She released her debut album Louder! on February 3, 2017.

Personal life

Reyes has two brothers, Diego Reyes Piñeyro and Marcelo Reyes Piñeyro and is the daughter of Ursula Piñeyro de Reyes and Hernan Reyes. As of January 2016, she has been in a relationship with Ricky Montaner who is also a singer, son of a famous musician, Ricardo Montaner and is brother of a famous actress, singer and host Evaluna Montaner. She currently resides in Los Angeles, California where she lives with her managers, Charlie and Paloma and also has obtained a Californian Driver's License as of January 2017.
