Sofia Camara – UPGRADED FROM THE DEAF INSTITUTE

For Sofia Camara, music has always been more than its sound or the feeling that emerges

when she strikes the right chord. In her world, sometimes full of uncertainty, noise, and

emotion that manifests from places she’d never thought possible, it can be her anchor—the

one thing that continually makes sense in a world that often doesn’t.

The viral success of “Who Do I Call Now? (Hellbent)”—now boasting over 44 million global

streams—shattered the glass ceiling, launching her into a whirlwind of career-firsts and

achievements that followed just as quickly. She took it all in stride—joining Dean Lewis and

Alex Warren on their respective European & UK tours, and standing centre stage at the 2024

CFL Grey Cup, where she delivered a gripping performance of the Canadian national anthem.

Her beautifully reimagined take of Nickelback’s “What Are You Waiting For?” became the

official 2025 IIHF World Junior championship song, further cementing her presence on major

stages. But her most defining moment yet was stepping into the spotlight on her own

terms—selling out her first headline shows across Europe. As she continues writing new

chapters of her story, Sofia rides the high of it all, knowing that wherever her music takes her

next, the whole world will be singing along with her.

Her spellbinding ability to reimagine and interpret songs in a way that feels

reinvigorating—almost like you’re listening to the song for the first time again— has earned

recognition from artists like Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Tate McRae, Gracie Abrams, and

more.
