Raised in Newark,NJ Sonyae Elise is definitely a force to be reckoned with. Sonyae has had a passion for music and preforming since the third grade. She linked up with Multi Platinum production duo Midi Mafia at Sony Records in NYC when she was 15. Since then she has been extremely busy preparing for her time to shine. Sonyae has had well known singles out like "We Heard (ReTweet)." The slogan "ReTweet" or "RT" is used on Twitter on a regular basis while tweeting. She made it into a catchy song about insecure Internet thugs talking tough behind their computer. She released other singles/videos for her songs "Lady Rebel," "Pucci On My Body," and "Giuseppe, Gucci, Loubie."
Her mixtape “Lady Rebel Vol. 1” dropped in June of 2010. Sonyae said, "It’s one of those mixtapes that you can listen to from start to finish and feel that you have been on a roller coaster ride of emotions. My goal in making music in general is to evoke emotion so you certainly should expect that. I’m inspired by the experiences of others but the majority of “Lady Rebel Vol. 1” comes directly from my own experiences. Remember I rap and sing, so you can expect variety in terms of tempo and content. Also, I’m a girl so of course you can expect to hear me expose my infatuation with fashion!"
Making her way to fame as an R&B artist she relocated to L.A, California to pursue her dreams. We all know that a very important key to fame is publicity and Sonyae is definitely on the right track.
