Before her work as a producer, Sonia enjoyed a successful career in music working as a DJ with residencies and featured gigs in Los Angeles, Mexico, NYC, and Italy. Her first taste of producing came in 2002 when she Co-Produced the Hip Hop tent, Code of the Cutz on the 48-city Vans Warped Tour, performing and booking local talent in every city. Soon thereafter, she was chosen to produce her segment for LATV called Suprema Sound Exclusives, which aired two nights a week for three years. After stints in radio on Power 106 and KIIS-FM, Sonia worked in unscripted and event television as a researcher and production coordinator for shows on Bravo, MTV, VH1, TVLand, and CBS. Fate would later land her a job as a Writer’s Assistant, precipitating her transition from the turntables to the art of scripted storytelling. 

She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two children, and the cutest dog in the world, Oscar.
