Sonia’s music has captured listeners around the world with her “next gen” vibe. One might describe her as “a Jesus Chick with attitude”. Full of spunk and ready to rock, Sonia is making noise in the independent music scene and has turned a few heads in the industry by bringing her message to hundreds of thousands all over the globe who are eager to know more about her Savior through music that captivates pop culture. Her songs are catching on and have developed a grassroots following in many independent circles. In February 2002, "You Are My Life" was awarded by the Gospel Music Association as “CCM Song of 2002” at the Nashville Regional AGMA Conference which was hosted by Margaret Becker. Because of overwhelming response, Sonia independently released an EP project titled “Passion Of My Soul” in May 2002. Her songs are charting not only on internet radio sites and webzine voter charts, but internationally on Christian radio airwaves in all of Europe, Peru, Holland and Switzerland for starters, hitting the #1 spot many times as the only independent artist among the top 30 signed charting artists. "Do it For You" raced up the Peru Christian radio airwaves in May 2003 and held the #1 spot for 9 consecutive weeks which has not yet been broken by any signed or unsigned artist to date. Meanwhile , "You Are My Life" broke the European Christian radio charts on UCB Europe's #4 position. “You Are My Life” also hit #1 on Mp3.com’s Christian Pop Charts, and finished the year out as the highest ranking song on the Pop charts in the Christian Pop or Rock genres in just one month after being pre-released in 2001. "Breathe” hit the top 20 on Mp3.com’s pop charts in January 2003 landing at #13 on the Pop charts, #1 on the Christian Pop Charts, #1 on Artist Launch and #1 on The Spirit Radio, and #1 on Mp3.com’s Christian Music Mail station as well as several other internet charting stations and has begun crossover into secular radio. Sonia now receives radio play on stations all over the globe and is one of the most requested independent artists, bringing her into top ten charts in over 10 countries and counting. Sonia is already planning a new full CD release for 2003. Record deal or not, Sonia’s original tunes are speaking the language of a new generation. Sonia’s powerhouse vocals and original songs are packed with passion and worshipful overtones. With vocal influences reminiscent of No Doubt’s Gwen Staffani, Alanis Morrisette, 4 Non Blondes, Avril Lavigne and in the musical vibe of Foo Fighters/Audio Adrenaline/Switchfoot in chick rock fashion, Sonia’s music has a sound of it’s own as an unmistakable female rock voice that is unique among other Christian artists in the market. With the upcoming CD Release, by taking modern rock into a more cutting edge territory, some might even be inclined to classify this music as modern worship in Top 40 packaging.
