Sonia Collymore has developed a unique sound, supported by a bold stage presence. The direct result of her years backing up many prominent vocalists. One of the more accomplished artists Sonia sang backup for was Leon Caldero, the ever-popular calypsonian, now a member of Byron Lee and the Dragonaires. Although in the Reggae arena, she first provided background vocals for Canadian JUNO Award winning Reggae Artist Nana McLean, her tenure with Beres Hammond, has proven to be the most rewarding to date.

Sonia’s niche is Reggae! Her years of harmonizing for the veteran crooner Beres Hammond, has transformed her into a bonafide globetrotter. As part of his set, Hammond showcases his backup singers. An experience which has honed her talent. She has developed a soulful on-stage exuberance, which has been critiqued to be extremely appealing. From Japan to Jamaica, she continues to win over fans with her heartfelt performances.

Currently she’s in the studio adding the finishing touches to her FACTOR funded debut album, with tracks produced by Work’n Till Dawn Production, The Gumption Band, Yogie and others. By contributing all of the lyrical content of the album, Sonia gets to actively participate in this exciting project. This is something she feels passionate about. Not only does she write for herself, but co-penned songs on the "My Rules" album by Patria and the "Can’t Get Over You" album by Pop Sensation "3Deep".

Crucal: Her migration to the Reggae music scene brings with it a fresh sound filled with her own unique yet creative lyrical stylings. Her debut album will undoubtedly create a buzz. Not only in "Reggae Arena", but on the world stage for its soulful, pop, jazzed up, reggae vibe.
