Sonia’s musical journey began at the University of Hull, where she immersed herself in the world of sound, earning a BMus (Hons) in 2008. Fuelled by a passion for vocal artistry, she then set her sights on London, pursuing a Master’s in Early Music Vocal Performance at the prestigious Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. Under the expert guidance of Timothy Travers Brown and Sophie Grimmer, Sonia honed her craft, graduating in 2011 with a profound understanding of historical performance practices.
Since 2009, Sonia has captivated audiences across the West Midlands with her commanding solo soprano performances. Her versatility shines through a diverse repertoire of classical masterpieces. She has lent her stunning voice to iconic works such as Handel’s Creation and Messiah, Rossini’s enchanting Petite Messe Solennelle, Haydn’s profound Maria Theresa Masse, Schubert’s graceful Mass in G, and Vivaldi’s exuberant Gloria. Her performances also include the soaring melodies of Rutter’s Magnificat and Mozart’s sublime Regina Coeli, Missa in C, Vespers, and the timeless Requiem, each showcasing her exceptional vocal range and interpretive depth.
Beyond the classical stage, Sonia has seamlessly transitioned into the vibrant world of crossover recording. Her debut album, ‘New Vintage,’ released in 2011, marked her foray into this exciting genre, blending her classical roots with contemporary influences. Her distinctive voice has also graced other notable projects, including an appearance on The Soldiers’ album and a collaboration with The Henry Ley Singers for their debut album, ‘The Leaves of Life.’ In February 2019, Sonia further enriched her discography with the release of her highly anticipated second album, ‘Colour My World,’ a testament to her ongoing artistic evolution and boundless creativity.
Sonia’s musical journey extends beyond her solo endeavours. She has shared her vocal talents with numerous choirs, enriching their performances with her rich sound. Sonia has been a driving force behind the success of Rock Choir in the West Midlands and Staffordshire since 2011. Leading the UK’s largest contemporary choir, she has inspired countless singers and orchestrated performances at renowned venues. Her choirs have graced iconic stages including Abbey Road, the Liverpool Echo Arena, the O2 Arena, Symphony Hall, and the NEC, showcasing their talent and Sonia’s dedication to creating unforgettable musical experiences.
