Cleveland Pride

Soneboy

Updating the classic dance anthem sound for the 21st century, Soneboy’s talent combines the sound of Erasure, David Bowie and No Doubt with his own twist, makes his vocal talents stand out from the rest of the musical pack. As an openly gay recording artist his wickedly brilliant lyrics combined with a dramatic conspicuous and stunning performance come through vigorously live. His enthusiasm and showmanship breaks through every time he has performed from the club scene, Prides and other events. He is looking forward to performing at Pride this year.

Twenty-two years ago Soneboy, walked into a gymnastics facility with big dreams and aspirations. Young Soneboy (sonni boy), as his grandmother would call him, started his artistic journey in one of the toughest sports for any athlete, mentally and physically. He loved the challenge of getting his body strong and flexible enough to perform such amazing skills. As he grew up, he continued to use the skills and discipline he acquired through gymnastics to enhance his creativity and passion for dance and music. Soneboy’s unique and catchy sound is inspired by the great artists of the 80′s and 90′s, along with his parent’s 50′s, 60′s, and 70′s music which made up the soundtrack of his youth. He began singing and songwriting at a very young age and always had a knack for performing. For the past 6 years, he has been performing with a multimedia performance ensemble where he has learned various styles of rhythms and dance. Soneboy is currently in the studio finishing his debut album. Here, you will get a chance to taste his eclectic sound style.

Soneboy plans to one-day tour the world, uplift spirits, and bring people back to themselves through music and dance. He believes that there is a place at the table for everyone. Everybody is a star! He often says, “Share the sun…’cuz we are one”. Enjoy his art, it is utterly delicious. “Create your song, create your dance, you can’t do wrong, and take a chance”.
