Sonia states "Despite all the raised eyebrows I've seen throughout my life, I have learned to just be the me God created me to be, and that I'm alright that way. I have to do the kind of music God made me to do in order to reach the people He can't reach through those who would rather play it safe. I have never been mistaken for "normal" and once you catch a glimpse of who I am, you'll never forget me. It's that unique design that I've realized God wants to use to get His message through to those that most Christian music overlooks; wild hair, crazy quirks, and rock-lovin' weirdo that I am.
