Ramos was born on 14 September 1992 in Portugal, where she lived with her parents in
Arrentela, part of the municipality of
Seixal, until she was 13. Her younger brother is singer
Lisandro Cuxi. She moved to France for a 3-year period, and afterwards, moved to Switzerland. She has expressed an interest in the artistic world since she was young, with the support of her family being essential for her to follow in her musical career; Save for her grandmother, who had emphasized the importance of her studies, saying that "Studying is more important than singing". During this time, she ended her receptionist courses. Someone who also always believed in her future was her friend Cátia Teixeira that lived in the same building as Soraia, being both her agent and her hairdresser at her first concert at a club in
Amora in 2015. Ramos worked at a
Subway in Switzerland and on Fridays would go to Portugal to play concerts. In another interview with
Jornal Público, Ramos recounted how she had recently visited the Escola Básica da Quinta de São João, her old school in the
margem sul of
Lisbon. The students identified themselves with her, be it through her origins or through her music. The visit culminated with everyone singing
Nosso Amor, a song by Ramos with
Calema. Ramos admitted to
Público that she privately hoped that the children did not recognize her, as at that age, she only knew
Floribella. The visit to her old school and to the neighborhood brought many memories and emotions to both the residents and the singer. Sónia, her 60-year old neighbor, told
Público that Soraia made many miss her as she emigrated to France, because she sang to her the songs of
Anselmo Ralph,
Sara Tavares and Floribella, and her voice touched her heart. == Work ==
