Sophia Sampaio Abrahão (born May 22, 1991) is a Brazilian actress and singer known for her work in television and music.
Abrahão made her television debut in 2007 portraying Felipa during the 15th season of Malhação. She rose to wider recognition in 2011 with her role as Alice Albuquerque in the telenovela Rebelde, which resulted in the creation of the band Rebeldes, consisting of the six principal cast members.
In 2013, she returned to play Tina in the film adaptation of the play Confissões de Adolescente. That same year, she took on the character Natasha in Amor à Vida, notably changing her hair color to red for the part. The following year, Abrahão appeared as Gaby in the telenovela Alto Astral.
By February 2015, she broadened her portfolio by becoming one of four digital ambassadors for L'Oreal Paris Brazil. Later that year, in October, she launched her first studio album titled Sophia Abrahão, marking a key milestone in her musical journey.
Career
Sophia Abrahão embarked on her modeling career at age 14. When she was 15, she spent four months living independently in China, subsequently working on fashion shows and catalogs across Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Upon returning to Brazil, she continued modeling while pursuing theater studies, which led to her casting as Felipa in the 2007 season of Malhação.
In 2010, Abrahão featured in the series Bicicleta e Melancia on Multishow and performed in the theatrical production Confissões de Adolescente. She later signed with Rede Record to star as Alice Albuquerque in the teen-focused telenovela Rebelde. Her character was one of six vocalists forming the band Rebeldes, which toured extensively throughout Brazil.
Following the conclusion of Rebelde in 2012, Abrahão launched a personal blog dedicated to fashion and beauty. Preparing for a solo music career, she collaborated with her cousin Brian Cohen and released two music videos, "Sem Você" and "Não Quero Mais," between 2012 and 2013. She also joined the farewell tour of Rebeldes, culminating in a final performance in Belo Horizonte on May 4, 2013. Afterward, she reprised her role as Tina in the film adaptation of Confissões de Adolescente.
In 2013, for her role as Natasha in Amor à Vida, Abrahão dyed her hair red. Her character was involved in a storyline centered on revenge against Leila and Thales. The following year, she portrayed Gaby in Alto Astral. Subsequently, she joined the cast of the feature film Se a Vida Começasse Agora, directed by Alexandre Klemperer.
2015-present: Debut studio album
October 2015 marked the release of Sophia Abrahão's first studio album, self-titled Sophia Abrahão. The project includes songs written by Fernando Zor, who also served as producer, featuring a rendition of Skank's "Resposta." The album's lead single, "Náufrago," debuted in September 2015. A music video for the track "Pelúcia" was slated for an April 2016 release.
