About SOPHIA BROWN:
Sophia Brown first got involved in the local entertainment business as a Dance Choreographer in 1986. Her exceptional skills lead to creating dance moves to songs by Dancehall pioneers Barrington Levy, Little John and Michael Palmer but it was a developing relationship with the Jamaica Tourist Board that created an opportunity for her to showcase her music talent in cabaret on what was then called the Appleton Estate Tour, that gave life to Sophia's dream of becoming an Internationally acclaimed Reggae Artiste.
Sophia who thought she was destined to make music her career had endured numerous setbacks, none of which, however, have deterred her from her dream of becoming an internationally recognized recording artiste. In 1992, Sophia was scheduled to perform on Reggae Sunsplash in the city of Montego Bay, the one and only major Reggae festival held in the island then. Her performance on Sunsplash was well received and probably created the next big step in her career, that of teaming up the renowned Mad Professor from Europe for collaboration. This must have flung open some doors for the Lovers Rock Artiste as it seemed by this that she was definitely on a roll. Brown thought she landed a recording opportunity with a company in the Cayman Islands called Strawberry Records which was later sold out to CMI Records in 1995.
