Flamingo Cantina

This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Tuesday, March 11 at Flamingo Cantina

Embarking on a fusion of pop, indie, and Latin music, Sophie Castillo breaks the barriers of genre,
making her mark as the first UK Latin artist to achieve viral success across TikTok and Instagram
with her unique Indie Bachata, "Call Me By Your Name." Garnering significant attention
organically across platforms, she has spotlighted the emerging UK Latin music scene, aiming to
leave a lasting legacy for younger Latin generations in the UK. Sophie has been featured in
established publications such as NME, Complex UK, Notion, and Refinery29.
Pairing her soft, flowing vocals with catchy melodies and sensual rhythms, Sophie echoes the
romanticism of the Latin music she grew up with, creating a cinematic, dreamy, and glamorous
sound. She combines her intercontinental inspirations, offering a unique perspective on Latin

music as a British Latina. Singing in both English and Spanish, she tackles the topics of love, self-
discovery, and spirituality in an honest and enchanting manner.

In June 2024, Sophie Castillo achieved a significant milestone by opening for legendary Latin
artist J Balvin at the O2 arena in London. This historic performance made her the first UK Latin
artist to open
