who really is – Libero Quotidiano

“I’m not a shock artist”. Like this Sophia Urista, singer of Brass Against, publicly apologizes on social media after urinating on a fan’s face. The disgusting raptus of which she became the protagonist a few nights ago a Daytona Beach, Florida, made her even more famous than she already was. Revealed in 2016 as a competitor to The Voice US edition, the 36-year-old is very active on social media where, however, she is anything but coarse or unrestrained. Certainly alluring, sometimes provocative, often unconventional.

Former medical student with a passion for music, star of a fairly “effervescent” cooking column with Jess King, fitness instructor with whom he has been dating since 2015. In 2020 he decided to formalize his homosexual relationship with King to his 98 thousand followers on Instagram, an engagement that caused a sensation. Of course, nothing compared to what happened on 11 November last.

The curly uvula is on the stage of the Welcome to Rockville Festival and the performance goes on as always, charged and adrenaline-pumping. Maybe too much. At one point she admits to having to go to the bathroom but convinced to continue her performance she invites a fan on stage, makes him lie down, places herself on top of him, lowering her pants and panties and begins to urinate profusely on his face. The audience is in a frenzy, the band’s colleagues continue to play, the “unfortunate” does not make a turn and the singer, after the physiological outburst, gets dressed and starts screaming into the microphone.

A few hours later, Brass Against’s profile reads: “We had a great time last night at Welcome to Rockville. Sophia got carried away. It’s not something we expected, and it’s not something you’ll see again at our shows.” A half excuse echoed by the explicit one of frontwoman: “I always put limits in music and on stage. That night I have pushed too far. I love my family, the band, and the fans more than anything else and I know some have felt hurt and offended by what I’ve done. I apologize to all of them and I want them to know that I didn’t make that gesture to hurt them. I am not an artist dedicated to shocking gestures. I always want to put music first. “But when he runs away, he runs away.
