Sonna started singing and playing piano from the age of four. Hardly surprising as her Mother is a well-respected Indian singer, her Father a renowned musician and her Grandma a noted singer/musician still making albums in India.

Encouraged by her parents enthusiasm, Sonna spent almost her entire childhood in music lessons obsessively practicing until at 14, she met a local talented producer who gave her an insight into song writing. The outlet for expression was found.

By 15, Sonna was recording demos and performing backing vocals for other artists when she met Producer Livingstone Brown who immediately offered Sonna a production deal and introduced her to Universal Records.
