Career

She has been host to numerous radio and television interviews, and has participated in various tours around Spain.[9] As of September 2017, her videos on YouTube reached several million views and her tracks on Spotify, three million.[10]

On 24 February 2017, her first album, Seis peniques, was released.[11][12] Its first single, entitled Segundas partes entre suicidas, marked her entrance to Spotify.[13]

In December 2017 Sofia Ellar announced that all the revenue obtained from her single, titled Humanidad en Paro, would be destined to different charities supporting Homelessness.[14]

In April 2018, a GQ Magazine journalist labelled Ellar as a "posh girl from a distinguished family", and implied certain discredit for her professional accomplishments.[15] Such claims were later considered "judgmental", "resentful" and "unfair" by the writer himself, who publicly apologised to the artist after receiving criticism, eventually becoming an enthusiast of her work.[16]
