NOTE: This is my new alternative account. My old primary account reached time limit for uploads and I still have many tracks to share. Due to the lack of human activity in Soundcloud it's not worth for me to pay for a Pro account, so just decided to try with a new alt account like this one.

An eccentric artist having fun with weird music stuff that is not everyone's cup of tea.

In the past I was infamously known for ruining other people's works, later I learnt how to make actual decent remixes, and now I'm doing original tunes and bizarre artworks.

NOT using AI or anything remotely similar in neither the music or the art.

She has worked both as a main singer and backing singer in various jazz and modern musical formations, and has performed all over Europe, from the UK and France, to Germany and Italy. Among her many experiences, in 2010 she collaborated as backing singer and flautist for the singer-songwriter Gian Luca Fantelli at the Europauditorium (Bologna) with an audience of over 1300 people. She has also worked as an actress and musician for the theatrical show The Vagina Monologues in 2008 and 2011, and in 2012 becomes one of the lead singers in the show Note Americane which led her to perform on the big stage in theatres such as Teatro Manzoni (Bologna), Teatro Comunale (Vicenza), Teatro del Verme (Milano), and Teatro delle Celebrazioni (Bologna). Currently, Sonia works as a singer, flautist and backing singer, and is working on her first recorded album with the acoustic duo Rotary Finger (www.rotaryfinger.com).

Sonia has taught for over ten years, gaining experience in subjects as varied as languages, theatre, other than, of course, music through singing and traverse flute teaching. She has developed a teaching methodology which combines the variety of her training and interests, taking advantage of being a native English speaker and a trained teacher and combining this with her music teaching, applying the rules of English phonetics in teaching correct English diction in singing. She has held various music and theatre workshops in schools and summer camps and coordinated end of course shows. 

In 2010 she discovers the world of early childhood music education through the American programme Music Together and completes the first level of certification to become a qualified teacher. She currently teachers flute and singing to all levels, and is an active member of the Musicians’ Association of Bologna (www.ambologna.it).

Lastly, Sonia has a passion for photography and since 2009 has worked organizing photographic workshops in both England in Italy (www.soniaterhovanessian.com).
