About DJ Red Sonya…

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 and after years of buying records her collection has grown to include downtempo, trip hop, funk, soul, and drum and bass. Whatever style of music Sonya plays, whether she’s rocking a moving dance floor, closing out the night, or dropping tracks at a restaurant, you’ll for sure hear funky bass lines, tripped out beats, and the smooth mixing that she is known for.

Red Sonya has performed at various underground events, lounges, and clubs in Southern California and abroad. In San Diego, she has held DJ residencies at Airport Lounge, L5, and Kava Lounge to name a few.  From 2001 to 2006, she was an active member of the Vinyl Elements Crew. She dj’ed, promoted and helped produce “Reaction” which ran for over 4 1/2 years at the Honey Bee Hive. Since 2007, Red Sonya has been leading Lady Lush, a production company featuring a group of talented female DJ’s, Sonya’s promotions, and art direction from Andre Couturier Maitret.   You can also catch her dj’ing monthly for “Fresh Cuts” at Harney Sushi in Old Town San Diego every 4th Saturday of the month. A short list of dj’s Sonya has shared the decks with includes Garth, Diz, Luke Soloman, Gavin Hardkiss, Jamie Thinnes, Dizzy, Halo, Jon Tejada, Hector Moralez, Z-trip, and Reid Speed.

Red Sonya is now based in Los Angeles, California and has teamed up with fellow DJ & Producer, Alien Tom. Sonya Lynn music production is soon to come.  Stay tuned here for upcoming events, photos, videos, new music, and more!

“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.”
