"Jazz School Drop out"

 My name Sophia Bastian and I would describe myslef as

a Bluesy Singer  with  young  attitude and a vintage Soul and Reggae  infatuation.

I've studied as a Jazz Vocal Major at City College and my musical influences are classic Soul, Blues and HipHop.

You can find comments and reviews to the a few demos on ( www.amiestreet.com/sophiabastian)   in RECs.

My EPK is on:

Over the course of last year I've been showcasing my music at numerous places:

I had a residency at Manhahatta Lounge

 shows at DonHills, Sweet Rhythm --- "James Brown Tribute" ,the Nuyorican Poets Cafe , Club 205, , and Stephen'sTalkhouse in Amagansett.

I've been featured twice in the  "Eclectic ride" line up at DROM in the past two months.

" Sophia Bastian might be one of the most promising young talents out there( ...)

Beyond the general enticement of a young  singer with Jazz reference and

a  lush voice, Ms.Bastian manages to  deliver herself as an original artist:

Her stage presence is luminious and her songs transcend wit and soul.

I haven't heard a female singer do reggae like this... made me dance !

I stumbled in on one of her gigs and was captivated. "
