All About Sonya

“Sonya Heller takes her place alongside the great female voices of the Folk and Jazz world.”—Crossroads Magazine

  Meet Sonya Heller, touring Pop/Folk singer/songwriter, composer, three time ASCAP Awards recipient and the recent new love of France.
Just returned from an exceptional engagement in Paris for French Television and for the prestigious Gala celebrating Acoustic Guitarist magazines 200th issue.
Recently signed to the Mosaic Label in France, Sonya Heller is a multi-textured vocalist, and has that rare ability to never write the same song twice. The French call her “Inclassable” or unclassifiable.  She’s been compared to everyone from Sade to Carol King,  Rickie Lee Jones to Laura Nyro, Joan Baez to Joan Armatrading, and  back to Sade!


Sonya’s music emanates from the streets of NYC and an old hip soul. She’s played most of its landmark and trend-setting clubs such as The Bitter End, The Living Room, and the Knitting Factory. Music Morsels Magazine recently called Sonya, “The Big Apples latest gift to the singer/songwriter world.. one of the most ear-opening in a long time”
 She continues touring throughout this country and has had her music performed by Jazz and World music artists from Carnegie Hall to the Olympia Theatre in Paris.Taking after her parents, both gifted singers, “ She weaves her voice like golden thread throughout her lyrics, and delivers her “message in a bottle” gently and powerfully. This has become her trademark.”
She's graced many stages. Here are just a few:
Club Sunside - Paris
Des Mots de Minuit - France
Divafest – Guerneville, California
Norcal Womens Festival
–  Laytonville, California
Vashon Earth Fair – Washington State
Indiegrrl/Womens K.I.S.S. – Provincetown, Ma.
Hickory Festival – Hickory, North Carolina
Concert on the Square – Jonesborough, Tenn.
American Musicfest – Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Sacred World Music Festival – Los Angeles, California
Great American Weekend – Goshen, New York
Strictly Mundial – Montreal, Canada
All About the Song – Austin,Texas

KAELE Magazine – Switzerland
Acoustic Guitarist Mag. - France
Music Morsels Mag. - US
