"I wake each morning torn between the desire to save the world and the desire to savor it. It makes it hard to plan the day." EB White //
Sofia Snow uses Spoken Word as a medium for opening eyes and hearts to the truth about issues ranging in areas from our communities to our world. She has opened up for many national acts, including DMC of Run DMC and Willie Colon. She has performed at several universities and venues throughout the country, from Boston to New Mexico to Florida and beyond. Sofia has been featured at the Lizard Lounge, Verbalization, and at a variety of other venues, protests and rallies throughout the country. She hosted the 2006 Soul Hop Tour in the Berklee Performance Center, featuring Raheem DeVaughn, Jahi, and Choklate, and was a featured performer herself at the Make Hip Hop Not War Tour Boston, presented by Critical Breakdown and the Hip Hop Caucus. In 2006, she was awarded Spoken Word Artist of the Year by the Mass Industry Committee's First Annual Hip Hop Awards. An artist and an activist, Sofia also held a seat on the Mayor's Hip Hop Round Table as the only youth member, organizing the citywide Hip Hop Fest, which brings legendary Hip Hop artists like KRS-1, CL Smooth, Nice&Smooth, and Rakim, to name a few. She has taught poetry classes and workshops from the East Coast to the Midwest, from elementary school to Harvard University. Her composition, Freedom Song, is included on Project: Think Different's recently released CD, Empowerment: The Power to Break You Free, on emPOWERment records. Her personal and professional goals are closely aligned. Sofia is currently attending University of Wisconsin-Madison with a First Wave full tuition scholarship to continue working on hip hop poetry. She is passionate about her art and about its power to help people recognize and hopefully inspire them to act against injustice, whether it is taking place locally, nationally or internationally.
