Sofia Ellar
Bright, sun-soaked acoustic pop that feels like a warm breeze. Intimate Spanish songwriting for slow mornings and golden hour drives.

Sofia Ellar (Sofía Lecubarri Ruigómez) is a standout figure in the independent Spanish music scene, having built a massive following through grassroots digital engagement rather than traditional label backing. Born in London and based in Madrid, her dual cultural identity informs a sound that blends the 'bedroom folk' intimacy of the UK scene with the lyrical passion of Spanish singer-songwriters.
Her career arc is defined by a fierce independence; she manages her own career with a business-minded approach (holding a degree from IE University) that has allowed her to maintain a unique proximity to her fanbase. Critically, she is recognized for her ability to translate digital-first success into high-energy, intimate live performances. Her sound identity is characterized by nylon-string guitar work, breathy vocal delivery, and a production style that emphasizes organic warmth over electronic artifice. She occupies a similar space to artists like Bely Basarte and Marta Soto, representing a new wave of Spanish artists who prioritize acoustic vulnerability and direct-to-fan connection.
