Whether holding her electric guitar or laying her fingers on her vintage toy organ, Sofia’s songs infuse dignity into the pop music genre. Her captivating melodies meld the groove of soul music, the boldness of rock, the beat of funk, with a clear indie attitude.
The common thread is a voice which can range the entire gamut from big and spiky to intimate and dreamy.

The Lolas have performed around 300 shows in the most important Italian live clubs as well as at London’s famous ‘12 Bar Club’ in Denmark Street, where some of the cult rock bands like Sex Pistols, Clash and Oasis had their first gigs.
