Sonia V. is one of a kind. But if I hafta.....Chick Rock with attitude! I've been influenced by all kinds of music: Rolling Stones, Ramones, The Pretenders, Garbage, Blondie, Joan Jett, Heart/Anne Wilson, Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Letters to Cleo, No Doubt. But I prefer the harder rock-n-roll! Disturbed, Papa Roach, Korn, Marilyn Manson, HIM, My Chemical Romance, All American Rejects, Starflyer 59, Favorite band evah - Stryper, favorite male vox - Michael Sweet! And now I have a duet with him on my album!
Sonia V's new CD release "Oh Sweet Tragedy - anthems from the ashes" is a riveting & pure offering of hard edged rock anthems, revealing honest confessions of an artist clinging to faith despite the desperate & trying turns life has taken. Co-produced with the phenomenal Kenny Lewis (Stryper, Michael Sweet) and rocked out with the talents of Michael Sweet (guitars/vocal duet) & Tracy Ferrie (bass) of Stryper, Derek Kerswill (drums) of Unearth, and McKendree Augustus (keys) of SonicFlood, these original tunes penned by Sonia V. come from a place of brokenness and raising one's anthem amidst the ashes & despite the darkness and aftermath of broken dreams. Into a place of hope and finding "Beauty for Ashes", "Oh Sweet Tragedy" is a solid rock offering from a credible artist who has earned her place among the standout female rock artists in the industry today.
Sonia V's previous CD "a thing or 2" includes credits of "Contemporary Christian Album of the Year" by the Independent Music Awards, followed by numerous chart topping hits, songwriting awards from Gospel Music Association, American Christian Music Awards, VH1, Billboard & International Songwriting Contests, vocalist awards & nominations as well as countless interviews, features and international radio airplay & commercial licensing opportunities. Also includes a co-write with Switchfoot’s Jerome Fontamillas. The successful release of “a thing or 2” earned Sonia V the respect from some of the most prominent musicians and individuals in the music industry which allowed her to claim her place as an unmistakable outstanding independent female rock artist.
