SONA
Less than 12 months into serious pursuit of a career in music, South African born SONA has had explosive success, increasingly in demand and playing festivals and venues across Africa and in South Africa.
SONA produced and co-wrote “Texts Go Green” featured on Drake’s latest album Honestly, Nevermind. The album broke Apple Music’s record for first-day streams worldwide and is the platform’s biggest dance album in history!
Stepping into the global spotlight as Black Coffee’s plus one for the 63rd Grammy Awards, SONA went on to dazzle onlookers at Boombox Room, Las Vegas with an impressive B2B set alongside his father.
Further debut performances at La Mesa, Los Angeles and GOSPEL, New York have quickly cemented SONA’s buzz as a fresh hot, new talent to keep a very close eye on!
