BIO
21-year-old singer-songwriter Sonja Autio, from Finland, studied classical piano from age 7, and began composing songs in her teens. Her subjects evoke joy, grief, ecstasy, loneliness, solitude, and oneness, often all at once.
From early childhood it was obvious Sonja was a natural-born-entertainer, and obsessed with writing music and performing live. She studied music theory, dance, jazz, R&B, soul, and dance-pop. Her musical influences include Amy Winehouse, Adele, Billie Eilish, Halsey, and Rihanna.
At 19, Sonja landed in New York City to fulfill her lifetime music ambitions. She met and signed with indie music label Imaginaryou, LLC. founded by Grant Brazer. In the summer of 2018, Sonja further developed her songwriting and vocal abilities in London, UK, and returned to America in the spring of 2019.
In 2020 Sonja will internationally debut two singles, "Protect Your Heart", and “Sunlight.” Other singles will follow culminating with the launch of her debut LP, entitled "Ghosts".
