Distributed in the underground, SOFA’s demo aroused huge interest not only among the audience, but also representatives of Poland’s music industry. Thanks to Hirek Wrona, SOFA landed a place on the permanent playlist of the Polish Radio 3 even before recording their debut album. In 2005, SOFA signed their first record deal with an independent record label Kayax, prioritising high quality and elite status of the label branded with Kayah’s name.
