GET TO KNOW SOFIA GILLANI

Sofia Gillani is a pop and soul singer/ songwriter based in London. She has devoted herself to music from writing, producing and marketing her own music, as well as directing her own music videos. Sofia began her musical career at just 9 years old; starring as a lead in the musical “Evita” where she sang "Don't Cry for Me Argentina." The production was a commercial success, running for four nights at the Oliver Awards. In the subsequent years, Gillani trained her voice, owning its natural power, emotion and sheer vocal strength. Taking cues from ballad icons such as Sia, Adele, and Ariana Grande, she crafted a sound of her own, culminating in the release of her first single "Ain't A Game" in December 2020. It is a self-directed music video featuring vibrant animations, and has since been entered into numerous film festivals for its originality and innovation. Sofia has performed at a variety of local venues around her hometown of London, including a charity event at the 02 Academy Islington, where she raised over £1000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital. In addition to music, Gillani is an actress and voice actress represented by Mad Fish Management in film / television. She is currently recorded vocals for the indie children's series “Zayn and Zayna's Little Farm” and recently completed a photo campaign for Barnardo's Voice and Influence of Young People.
