BIO
For Sonia Leigh, songwriting is in her blood. Her father and his father planted the seed that would blossom in the heart of a six-year old kicking at the dirt on a country road in Florida. The same roads where her grandfather Roy, moaned the lovesick blues and even wrote a song recorded by The Hillbilly Shakespeare himself. That road would lead young Sonia Leigh to many places to call home in her future. Moving around so much with her family gave Sonia the fire to always keep going and to become resilient to new places. Her Father Dennis used to let her bang away on his guitar and later when she was ten years old began teaching chords and strumming techniques which would build the foundation for a mansion of talent.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Used to her roots in country music, as a teenager Sonia was fascinated when she discovered the blues and rock and roll. She was drawn in by artists such as Lightning Hopkins, Brownie McGee, Janis Joplin, Nirvana, Hole, Melissa Etheridge, and Bruce Springsteen. She began to explore rock and roll on a deeper level and started to write a divers selection of material. Forming her first band at 16 in Indiana she had recorded a demo at 14 and heard her songs on the local radio station. Yet, the time to move came again and her family relocated back to south Georgia and Sonia began talking with a rep from Electra records who turned her on to an Atlanta producer from England. She then began recording her first C.D. at age 17.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Taking some time to release her third record, "Run or Surrender" Sonia Leigh was determined to give her songwriting time to mature and develop into its full potential. She now has a collection of material equipt with nail driving lyrics and melodies that will stick with you for days. Songs that mark a highlight in her career and has her music peers singing along. Sonia has been performing with her Atlanta local favorites such as Sean Costello, Zac Brown, Doria Roberts, Francine Reed, and even shared the stage with Jennifer Nettles and Kristen Hall of Sugar Land. Along with her recent solo success she is also lead guitarist/vocalist for the hotlanta trio Butterfly Stitch who are making quick prints on the southeastern music scene. Other members include Jen Lowe (worldwide percussionist) and Vanessa Olivareze ( American Idol season 2 finalist). Sonia Leigh is making the rounds and building a following as she goes.
