Description

Raw energy, smooth to heart-wrenching vocals, slick patter and excitement. Sonia Moree is a soul and blues recording artist with 30+ years of performing experience. Born into a family of preachers, musicians and singers, she was already being primed for public performance by the tender age of 5. She performed piano recitals and sang in the church choir. Throughout her school and college days, Sonia was a member of the marching and concert bands, chorus and girl groups. After fronting and traveling with professional bands on the college, corporate, and chitlin' circuits, she became manager of the former EJ's Showplace of Atlanta, Georgia. The demands of managing a nightclub, however, confined her to performing intermittently at the workplace. Subsequently, she established her own act and took her show on the road in the south. The show eventually became a staple at the former Thomas Seafood Restaurant in Atlanta. It was during this time that Sonia wrote and produced her first EP, Roadway to the Blues. She also owned and managed Koko's Cafe in Talbotton, Georgia. Sonia Moree was recently nominated by the JusBluesMusic Foundation as Southern Soul Female Artist of the Year. Additionally, she was nominated as Best New Southern Soul Female Artist Performance for the song she wrote, Love Is The Reason (from the CD, A Thrill Still), co-produced by bluesman, Theodis Ealey. She has performed for clubs, parties, corporate events, concerts, festivals, receptions and family reunions. She has also shared stages with artists, Sandra Hall, Willie Hill, Theodis and others. Dressed to impress, Sonia is backed by Az One, five dynamic and versatile musicians, and background singer(s). She is also equipped to perform track shows that include 2 background singers as well. Covers from her repertoire may range anywhere from the likes of Koko Taylor, Aretha Franklin, Al Green or the Staple Singers, to Sade, the Pointer Sisters, Motown and her originals. Her mission is to deliver unforgettable entertainment and thoroughly engage her audience in the process.
