Career

Sophia Abrahão began modeling at 14 years-of-age. When she was 15 years old, she lived alone in China for four months. Later, she traveled to countries like Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, where she worked making catalogs and fashion shows. She converted to Buddhism.[5] When she returned to Brazil, she continued her modeling career and in parallel, joined a theater course, when the test for the telenovela Malhação emerged. Sophia was approved for the 2007 season, in which she played the preppy Felipa.

A few months later, she signed a contract with Rede Record to be one of the protagonists of the teen telenovela Rebelde, playing the preppy Alice Albuquerque. Alice is one of the six vocalists of the band Rebeldes, which has performed in cities throughout Brazil.[6]

In 2012, after the end of Rebelde, Abrahão launched her personal blog, which features fashion productions, beauty tips, and updates. Already preparing to follow up with her solo career in music, Abrahão did some songs with her cousin Brian Cohen and released two video clips between 2012 and 2013 which are entitled "Sem Você" and "Não Quero Mais". She also continued doing shows for the farewell tour of Rebeldes which had its last show on May 4, 2013, in the capital of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte.[7] Afterward, Abrahão was selected to be one of the protagonists of the film Confissões de Adolescente, reprising the character "Tina".[8]

In 2013 she dyed her hair red to play the role of Natasha, the sister of Nicole (Marina Ruy Barbosa) in the telenovela Amor à Vida. She did part of the plan of Lídia (Angela Rebello) and Rogério (Daniel Rocha), which began to be put in place after the girl back to the doctor in the United States, to get back at Leila (Fernanda Machado) and Thales (Ricardo Tozzi) for what they did to her sister.[9]

In 2014 she played the righteous Gaby in the telenovela Alto Astral.[10] After the end of the telenovela, Sophia Abrahão was cast in the feature-length film Se a Vida Começasse Agora, directed by Alexandre Klemperer.[11]
