About Me


Produced by Sven-Erik Seaholm @ Kitsch and Synch Studios Executive Producer: Shawn Balch – Barfly Promotions
"SHEILA SONDERGARD is a sizzling, mouthy melting pot of ideas, beliefs and quick one-liners, and it is reflected in her music. This intrepid Korean and Danish singer-songwriter was playing open mics at the age of 16. When performing live, Sondergard’s small stature and larger-than-life vocalization command the room. Her smoky, breathy voice and acoustic folk-rock style guitar tell the story of a life in which lyrical wisdom has been born out of hardship and self-reliance. She embodies a hybrid sound. It makes no promises, it is raw and honest and real. From living on the beach in Maui, to a cattle ranch in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming, to the Central American backdrop of Guatemala and then into sunny San Diego, Sondergard has experienced a little more “life” than the average young adult. Because of this, she draws upon the drama of circumstance and everything in between the lines to create her own distinct and haunting sound. Sondergard’s next step is trying to gain the popularity to match her credibility."Kelly Grace - (Downtown San Diego Magazine)
Picking up the trumpet at the age of 9 and the guitar at 11 cannonballed me into something I couldn't wait to 'tap'. I've been inspired by each of my contrasting homes and drenched in exotic cultures that my style is a copasetic melting pot evolved from genres of music such as Classical, Reggae, Folk, rock n roll, punk, and many others. I've had the opportunity to play aside many amazingly, talented artists such as Susan Gibson, Ben Taylor, Tristan Prettyman, Bret Michaels, Sprung Monkey, Bohemia Suburbana, Shawn Mullins, and Chris Stills While Playing Venues Such as Canes, The Mint, BB Kings, Humphreys by the bay, and many other great and diverse Venues, with so many great musicians!
I have also recently been endorsed by Timberline Guitars . They really have some great guitars over there. If you want one, contact Sheila about getting a discount!
