DJ Mag declared, “What makes Sonny stand out from the pack is his combination of talent and determination” and never was a statement more apt! An innovator and workaholic Sonny has developed, tweaked and honed his 3 deck wizardry over the years with industry leaders Ecler and Ortofon signing him up as Ambassador to lead their UK Pro Team and showcase just what their technology is capable of in the right pair of hands.
Sonny's major breakthrough came when spotted by Renaissance in a mixtape competition for DJ Magazine along with selection by Mixmag to become one of their original “future heroes” next to the talents of Nic Fanciulli, Gareth Emery and Tom Neville. This catalyst lead to Manumission offering a weekly Ibiza residency backed up with appearances at Amnesia for Renaissance at their prestigious opening and closing parties featuring John Digweed and Sander Kleinenberg.
Since then Sonny’s racked up slots at the who’s who of clubbing institutions; Ministry Of Sound, Pacha, Godskitchen, Chibuku and Renaissance with demand growing internationally rocking clubs and festivals in Australia, Brazil, China, France, Mexico, Morocco, Ibiza, Russia, Spain, Korea and USA. Sonny has held down a monthly residency in Barcelona, completed two solo world tours and played to over 1 million people at The Love Parade in Berlin, Germany.
No stranger to radio and TV Sonny’s completed 3 prestigious guest mixes for the world famous Radio 1 in addition to countless live interviews and regularly features on the likes of Galaxy, Ministry Of Sound and Kiss. Sonny has also featured on both The Gadget Show and MTV.
Having honed his talents touring club land Sonny has also committed a lot of time in the studio over the last 18months with his productions and remixes becoming some of the biggest tunes of the past year for the likes of Pete Tong, Sander Kleinenberg, Mark Knight, Steve Angello and Roger Sanchez as well as featuring on major Radio, TV and Mix Compilations alike.
With Toolroom knighting him "a certified member of the house music elite" and releases lined up on Ministry Of Sound, Joia, Baroque and Positiva, Sonny’s place amongst the production community has also fast become one to watch!
