Want to say thank you for still being here!!!!! Things are on hold its so frustrating - how do you get to a place in life where you can just focus purely on what you love doing the most?? Work - work - work trying to catch a break to pick back up on what makes your heart beat, your soul fly and your skin tingle! I've been burying my head in the sand because I was hiding away from this site because I hadn't had any interaction on here since the Band Hub closed its doors - which saw my music out on hold. This try I'm trying to get my life in a place where I can do the things I love - please stick with me x
Read moreI've just uploaded a remix of the song i wrote over 10 years ago - Flirt With Me - its so different from the original and I was sure at first. But each time I hear it Im taken in by it and I wanted to put it on here to see what you all thought, compared to the first! I find myself loving it and think its the kind of song I would listen too if I was thinking of someone I met. I think the next EP is going to go back to the melodic, deep music I used to write back then ...... so I'll be uploading RAW versions of new stuff before its produced - I want you all to come on this journey of development withe me - as you have so far x
Read moreI just wanted to say I've posted a song called the take and left a message on my page and i STILL can never tell if you just get these personal messages as my subscribers or everyone sees em because thats how it appears on my login!!!! But regardless - I just want to you all to know that I'm grateful, and thank you for taking the time to subscribe- thank you for listening and it STILL BLOWS MY MIND. X
Read moreI wanted to say thank you for subscribing - Its been a really hard two years and creating this EP has been a saviour. I lost my job, all my money, nearly my home......had my heart broken, my soul destroyed - but NEVER lost my will to get this EP finished. I was desperate to make it happen, but it took money - the time I had!!! Things began to pick up - I got another job, had the support from family to keep my home and I genuinely feel blessed right now. Seeing people subscribe and message me (often at the moments in life when I was struggling to think I would ever be able to get this finished and fulfil my dream) I'd open up my email there was a message os encouragement and support - THANK YOU!
I really hope you like the re-produced old stuff and especially the new material - thank you again from my heart x

If you type - Sonia Southern into any social music platform it should bring the EP Jewel up :) Happy Listening x
OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH Man alive :) :) :) i-Tunes - Jewel is out on all major social platforms........ I cant believe it - its taken over a year to get to this!!!! Thank you with ALL my heart for the listens, subscribing, the heart felt messages of support and encouragement - I truly cant thank you all enough.
I really, really, really hope you like how this EP has turned out - it has some re-produced old stuff and some new stuff. I would welcome all feedback - Jewel (10 years man!!!!) My dream came true!!!
So I had to wait seven days before I could message and upload the song (angry face) - this is one of the new songs I've recorded for my new EP Jewel which is out next month (took a long time coming - with losing my jobs - running out of money and trying to get back on my feet).
Really hope you like it - I'll be uploading it to the page after.
Thanks for listening and subscribing - as always x
Not gona lie I've buried my head in the sand - it's been hard to come back on here knowing I've been away and not even messaged for a while. I've been battling with trying to build my life, money, work up so I can afford to go to the recording studio to continue to do the one thing that keeps me sane and feel like I'm truly living. I know you don't know me what I'm not a bullshitter I'm just shit when I feel I've failed and I genuinely felt inside like I'd failed the people who had taken their time to subscribe and message me :( I couldn't message you until I re-subscribed to this site and I couldn't afford it for a while - and I paid tonight and the first thing I did was begin this message.........I actually finished my EP I have a song I want to give you all. it's really shit because I will have to sell my EP or I just won't be able to afford to go to the studio to produce it and it does make me feel shitty - but I want you all to have this for free to say thank you from my heart for subscribing and supporting me x Sooooo I tried to upload the song and it takes 72 hours before my account is upgraded (aaarrrrrggggghhhhh) I contemplated waiting to send this until it was done - but I just want to get in touch with you now I can what I can do is send you a picture of my EP cover....... there's a reason behind it that I'll share with you another time - I think I've babbled enough ha as soon! Im hoping for what ive paid I get to send more than one message a month this time ha!
Read moreHey everyone and a big thank you to my new subscribers :) thank you all for your support....things have been a little difficult - I lost my job and which has meant that I'm unable to finish my Album until I get my self back on my feet :( But hey in comparison to what most people across the world face, this is just a minor set back and I believe things happen in life for a reason. I've taken time to really think about what is important to me in life and what I want from my future. And I want to fulfil my life long dream - that began right here, because you all gave me the confidence, loving messages and support to really go for it. So I'm going to follow my dreams and see if I can make a career out of what I love and enjoy doing the most - music. I managed to get the EP finished before I lost my job and I have the snippets to upload now - I'll be looking to pick back up in the studio as soon as I can get something behind me to fund the studio and production time. Ahhh I do have some exciting news I had my first to live performances - one at our local street festival and one at a festival in Wales - I've uploaded the picks :) So thank you and I'll keep up my posts too - have a lovely day/night depending on where you are in the world xxxx
Read moreHello everyone ....... Im blown away that my life since being on here has taken a major turning point with my music. The stuff I uploaded when I came on here that I had written over ten years ago seems a far cry from the songs I'm writing now. They are different - the lyrics aren't because I'll always write from my heart and personal situations. Be nice to write some not so sad songs ha! I've had feedback from some of you about now the song has change in the mix and I can only agree......and this is why rather then replicate or re-produce my old songs which change their feeling - I have been writing new stuff. In doing so I think I have found my sound - its more upbeat and you will hear that in the EP snippets - but I will also have the deep heartfelt stuff too - which will always be stripped back. Your thoughts and how you interpret my songs means a lot to me so please positive or not I will always appreciate and respect your feedback. From my heart thank you all so much for being next to me on my life long journey - its never too late to follow your dreams - they say - and I'm starting to believe it.
Read moreHello Everyone sorry its been too long already - I've actually done it i've finished my very first EP I really really hope you like it. I mentioned that I didn't just want to throw an album out - my stuff is a little different I feel I've found myself and wanted a mix of heartfelt lyrics that were also up beat in the mix. I will always work on the more emotional stuff but wanted to do something a little different. ALL the songs are about personal situations and I will always only write from my heart. I'll put some snippets up for you to listen to xxxxx And with all my heart again thank you so much I'm not a faker and mean it when i say I would never have got done this without you!
Read moreHello Guys, So I've been in the studio a lot recently working on my upcoming album!! So as a little treat I've uploaded a song that is available to purchase at the link below.

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh so excited just saw I'm back up in the Ranking - would'nt be here without you all listening and supporting me - thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm due to post the snippets of the new songs for the album and I have my very first EVER gig - we have a little street festival down the road from where I live in June and the lads who produce my music asked me to perform on their stage........ I have a 25m slot - nervous..... baddddly and excited at the same time. I've invited my friends incase nobody stays to listen to my music hahaha - it will be the first time my family and mates will have heard me sing live. I'll make sure I record it and post it here - aghh I've got more stuff on Insta too as its easier to upload them from my phone :) Happy Sunday and much love and best wishes to you all x

Hey there - you'll see its been years since I've been on here :( My father was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and sadly passed away. He was the man who inspired me to write - my dad gave me the gift of music! As a child - he would play me his records, introducing me to the sounds of the 60's and 70's and we would sing and jive around the living room. He passed in my arms as I sang his favorite Elvis song ..... I promised him and myself that I would pursue a life based on my dreams and not the one was born out of circumstances forced by life or fear. So I have left my career to follow my dream of becoming a songwriter. Thank you to those who have subscribed - I wont leave it so late again......here's to a new future in memory of my Dad x
Tried to learn how to play the guitar at 22 and man alive I WAS AWFUL....Bert Weedens teaching book. Put it this way - Got the Whole World in His Hands, sounded nothing like it - when I tried to play it! :)
Below is the Bio I wrote when I first joined:
So I gave it up and then 10 years later I only learnt how to play G,F,C,D,A,Em,E7,Dm,G7, E and erm thats pretty much the same today ha! (I would love to be able to play better) But I wrote my first song only a month after giving it a go. Its called Flirt With Me, then I wrote Heavy Night, Beautiful Boy, in a matter of weeks and then a Troubled Mind. Which I have to say is very close to my heart as its about depression and I actually did manage to put into words how it makes me feel.
I continued to write over the past ten years alone in my house on a BOSS BR600 - I have never done an open mic and until someone contacted me via email from this site I had NEVER shared my music. None of my friends had ever heard what I had wrote. I also had my first recording in a studio - that was with Superhero. I've decided to upload my favorite old songs mentioned above - the recording isn't great I'm sat on my kitchen table recoding them all, the levels are pitchy and if you listen hard enough on the end of Heavy Night you can hear the washing machine going round in the background hahaha!
So to those who have taken the time to listen to my songs and read this - I cant thank you enough. I'm starting to live, by doing the one thing I love the most.......my music x
