Sofía's Experience

Brooklyn-based songwriter and folk artist Sofía Campoamor was the first woman member of the Whiffenpoofs, the country’s oldest collegiate a cappella group. From 2018-2019, she toured over 200 performances in 16 US states and 15 countries, producing and performing on the 2019 Whiffenpoofs album “Water Whiffs,” which features her original composition “Dragonfish.” Her first solo release, “Parts Apart” came in July 2020, created as part of her thesis in music composition at Yale University, for which she received the Beekman Cannon Friends of Music prize for “a musical composition exhibiting unusual originality and promise.” In July 2021, Campoamor released her second EP “quarterlife,” produced by Daniel Rudin (Third Reprise), and opened for Hellogoodbye at Space Ballroom. She then designed project #wordlesong, a songwriting challenge viewed over 2 million times on TikTok that generated several songs for her debut album “if you knew, i couldn’t tell,” produced with Chris Peters (Walk on Through) and Oren Levin (Charlie Burg). Singles “3 or 4,” and “Round Robin” were featured on 2022 Indie Folk Central compilation albums, and “Round Robin” was also featured on alexrainbirdRecords’ Cozy Coffeehouse, Vol. 4. (2023). The 2022 album was celebrated with a headline show at Rockwood Music Hall, and ten East Coast tour dates the following year. In February 2023, Campoamor received a grant from Stagetime to perform a 45 minute solo show at The Bowery Electric titled “to fall in love with anyone…a 36 questions song cycle,” composing an answer to each of the questions from the psychology experiment “36 questions that lead to love.” In April, she opened a sold out 500-person show for folk artist MALINDA at The Birchmere. In June, Campoamor jointly released “The Woman I’ll Become,” a single co-written/produced with Lizzy Hilliard. The song was featured on Indie Folk Central’s August 2023 Compilation Album and has received hundreds of thousands of listens across streaming platforms. “Ghost Ship,” released in October 2023, was featured on John Dilberto’s radio program “Echoes.” In March 2024, Campoamor and fellow indie folk artist Katherine Paterson toured eight East Coast dates, including an opening slot for Grace Gardner at Johnny Brenda’s and a headline show at The Bitter End. Campoamor’s sophomore album, “with all the lights on,” was released in September 2024, following a six-date East Coast tour with Lizzy Hilliard. New production collaborators included Hannah Tobias (MALINDA) and Kenyon Duncan. In 2025, Campoamor was the lead vocalist on Kevin Keller’s original plainchant album “Arcadia,” co-writing three tracks. She produced and released four bonus tracks for “with all the lights on,” and then headlined Mercury Lounge to celebrate “Move Mountains,” the first single on her upcoming album. She was awarded a residency by Bethany Arts Community to develop this album, and ended the year by jointly releasing a co-write with new artist Kite Shepherd, “Way Back Home,” as well as a cover of Alfred Burt’s “Star Carol” on Shamus Records. In 2026, Campoamor’s Tiny Desk Contest submission “Amy,” has been viewed 40k times in its first week.
