Sophia Reaves

Sophia Reaves was born in 1991 in Takoma Park, Maryland, to John Reaves Jr. and Dolores Melendez-Reaves. With strong roots in her faith, at an early age Sophia learned the values of being dedicated, trustworthy and coachable. A love for the arts was also instilled in her as a child, leading her to begin writing music at age eight. Noticing her talent, her parents sought out vocal and acting training in order to further develop her artistic skills. Their investment paid off as she won grand champion for a solo act she performed at a state-wide public speaking competition for youth. She then landed a leading role in a high-caliber production of an original high school musical, recordings of which have been sold internationally.
