Biography
RED SONYA discovered her passion for electronic music immediately after her move to southern California in 2000. After attending her first massive rave, she bought turntables. A year later, Red Sonya took San Diego by storm, and has not let up since. House music was her first vinyl fetish, yet after years of collecting records, she took her hobby seriously, and her collection quickly grew to include downtempo, trip hop, funk, soul, and drum and bass. But whatever style of music she’s playing, whether she’s rocking a moving dance floor, or dropping tracks at a sushi lounge, you’ll for sure hear funky bass lines.
“San Diego just might be the female Dj capital of the world… Our Favorites: Red Sonya can’t be missed- and with her mane of red hair, we mean that literally. From spinning trip-hop at Zenbu lounge to funk at Aubergine, this scarlet diva is packing them in wherever she is.” ~Riviera Magazine, June 2007
Red Sonya has performed at various underground events, lounges, and clubs including the Red C Lounge, Kava Lounge, L5, & Bar Dynamite to name a few.
