Details:
ZASE' (PRONOUNCED ZAUSHA) IS THE NAME A GUY KEPT CALLING SOPHIA AFTER THE FIRST TIME HE HEARD HER SING. THE NAME GREW ON HER SO SHE EVENTUALLY ADOPTED IT AS HER STAGE NAME.

SOPHIA WAS BORN IN JAMAICA AND HAS BEEN SINGING EVER SINCE SHE CAN REMEMBER. AT 10 YEARS OLD, HER PARENTS BROUGHT HER AND HER BROTHERS TO THE UNITED STATES. HER PARENTS DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR SOPHIA TO CONTINUE PIANO LESSONS, SO SHE DECIDED TO CONCENTRATE ON HER SINGING.

AT 10 YEARS OLD, SHE WROTE HER FIRST SONG TITILED "TIME
AFTER TIME" ( NOT CYNDI LAUPER'S "TIME AFTER TIME"). AT THIS AGE, SHE WOULD BELT OUT TUNES BY DONNA SUMMER, GLADYS KNIGHT AND THE PIPS, ARETHA FRANKLIN, DIANA ROSS, IRENE CARA, CRYSTAL GAYLE, BLONDIE, DIONNE WARWICK, AND BARBRA STREISAND, TO NAME A FEW. LISTENING AND SINGING TO DIFFERENT STYLES OF MUSIC AT A YOUNG AGE GAVE SOPHIA VERSATILITY.

LATER IN LIFE AFTER SOPHIA ADOPTED THE NAME ZASE', SHE BECAME SERIOUS ABOUT HER SONGWRITING AS WELL. ZASE' WAS HERE TO STAY. SHE TOOK HER DEMO TO A RADIO STATION AND HANDED IT TO A STAFF MEMBER. LATER, SHE RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM THE RADIO STATION, REQUESTING THAT SHE SING AT THE
LOCAL FAIR. SHE DID.

WHILE PERFORMING HER SONG "FOR YOU" AT THE FAIR, A JET FLEW LOW OVER THE FAIR GROUNDS, BUT ZASE' KEPT ON SINGING. AFTER HER PERFORMANCE,PEOPLE TOLD HER THAT NOT EVEN A JET COULD DROWN HER OUT. ALSO, ZASE' KNEW SHE HAD A GOOD SONG IN " "'ROUND AND 'ROUND" WHEN SHE SAW A VIDEO TAPE OF KIDS SPINNING AROUND, AND ADULTS HOOTIN' WHILE SHE PERFORMED THE SONG.

THIS POSITIVE FEEDBACK FUELED ZASE'S FIRE; SHE DECIDED TO CUT A FULL-LENGTH ALBUM. THE RESULT IS "INSIDE OUT", WHICH SHE EXECUTIVE PRODUCED WITH VERNON MONTOYA.

"INSIDE OUT" IS TITLED AS SUCH TO REFLECT THE DIFFERENT SIDES TO ZASE'. IT FEATURES HER AMBITIOUS YET VULNERABLE, NO-NONSENSE YET ROMANTIC, SPIRITUAL YET FUN AND SEXY CHARACTER.

"JUICE ME" APPEARS IN 3 DIFFERENT VERSIONS ON THE ALBUM. THE ALBUM SHOULD HAVE BEEN TITLED "JUICE ME" 'CUZ A WHOLE-LOT-A JUICIN' IS GOIN' ON, ON THE CD.

ZASE' HAS MORE MATERIAL WRITTEN AND CONTINUES TO WRITE NEW MATERIAL, SO THERE IS MORE TO COME.
