“Being of Pakistani, Chinese and Spanish background, Montréal born Sofia Servando Baig began penning words of
love and hope at an early age. Frustrated with the world’s apathy and indifference to war, pain and suffering, she
took it upon herself to use her voice to express her own struggles with life. As a spoken word poet, she aspires to
instill in people passion, courage and confidence and above all, to inspire. Sofia has shared her work extensively
with audiences all across Canada, the United States and Europe. Sofia has recently released her debut album entitled,
Daughter of the Sand, which is a collection of selected poems and has already begun to garner great acclaim.
