Welcome to my little corner. This is another step of this wonderful journey of Sophie Maras. I am very happy to be able to share it with you.

Music has been a part of me since I can remember. I was born in Madrid and spent most of my life here and I suppose that this fact as well as having so many different roots has influenced me in many ways.

My first live performance was in 2002, where I was one of the lead singers of a Jam Session in Madrid, Spain. In 2004, some friends from the Jam Session and I decided to put together a Rock Cover band, a very good excuse to keep on playing live and seeing each other. I am happy to say that this band, PERVERSIONS, is still READY TO ROCK! And so are the band members!

When I finished my degree and started working I had very little spare time, although I dedicated it to music. I got to a critical situation where I felt my energies were not focused in the right direction and I decided to quit my job and the lifestlye that went with it.

I felt the need to increase my knowledge in music. I was then accepted to start a course in a Modern Music school in London, UK and I was very lucky to meet extremely talented people amongst my teachers, but also amongst my fellow students. This talent inspired me to give my all to be a better musician, as I understood there was no better expression than music for me.

When I finished the course, I decided to come back home to Madrid and start my own project. So I got on with putting the band together, for me it was as important to put together a band with amazing musicians but most of all with amazing people, this is when the magic happens. Then we kept on writing, rehearsing and gigging. The project grew and is still growing amazingly.

We went to record the EP in London. The songs you can hear on the site are the result of this trip, the beginning of an amazing and very exciting journey. This is the beginning of Sophie Maras, there is a lot more to come.

We have been performing live for a couple of years now and are enjoying an extraordinary audience. Right now I am in Boston (US), on a very exciting new stage of my personal and professional career gigging, studying and working at Berklee College of Music. Involved in several projects with students and Berklee Staff, including the amazing International project of Berklee in Valencia which will open its doors next year.

Music is my passion, music is my language, music gets the best out of me. I hope you enjoy what you hear and see.

Thanks for coming round here. We would love to see you at our gigs! Take care,

Sophie
