Ms. Sophia’s Studio
Sophia Gonzalez is a Moss Landing based mezzo-soprano, producer, and small-business owner. She holds double B.M. from San Diego State University in Vocal Performance and Music Education where she studied with Dr. Katherine Polit. A new music specialist, Sophia can often be found performing in the Bay Area and the Monterey Peninsula, choosing projects that champion community and spark creative conversation. At the end of 2024, she produced and performed in The Creative Voice’s ‘Baroque & Unknown’, a four part salon style concert series highlighting the very nearly forgotten voices of women composers of the Baroque era. Sophia is the new owner of CFMS, having taken over what was previously known as Class Act Music Academy, founded by her dear friend, Danielle Rahkshanifar. Sophia was born and raised in Gilroy and creating musical opportunities for the Gilroy community is something she has always been passionate about, she helped found the non-profit C.S.P.A.A. in 2020 with Danielle Rahkshanifar and Kira Dixon in an effort to provide more musical resources to kids in the South Bay Area and beyond. Also involved in local musical theater, she has vocal directed with local theater companies such as San Benito Stage Company and South Valley Civic Theater. As an educator and the executive director of CFMS, Sophia combines classical technique with pedagogical techniques as well as intuitive learning styles to push students to achieve their goals, build holistic curriculum for all students at CFMS, and most importantly, to have fun making music. She teaches advanced voice (Classical, Singer-Songwriter, Jazz, Musical Theater, Worship/Religious), beginning and intermediate woodwinds, beginning and intermediate piano, and song-writing.
