Canadian Singer/Songwriter Sonia (Marie) Funk hails from Winkler, a small town in southern Manitoba, Canada. She began her musical career shortly after moving to Winnipeg to attend University. It was there, at the University of Winnipeg, that she met producer Olaf Pytlik. They began working together immediately and two years later, in 1999, Sonia released her first full-length recording. She has been writing, recording and performing ever since. She spent many years touring with her band, playing solo, recording and releasing her music and won several performance and songwriting awards. Sonia has worked with producers across Canada and played everything from small cafes, Television and Radio shows, to playing on the same bill as The Mathew Good Band.

Sonia recently returned to school to finish her post secondary education and see a bit of the world. Having spent the last two years between Toronto, New York, and her new home in London, UK, she is now getting back to the music. Sonia is writing again and is currently working towards the release of "Karel," her new Christmas EP, for this November. "Karel" is a collection of Traditional Christmas Carols produced in Montreal by Sonia and long time friend and guitar player, Graham Playford. She also plans to release 'Small Spaces' in 2010. 'Small Spaces' is a previously unreleased full length record, recorded and produced by Damon de Szegheo in Toronto.
