MEET YOUR PRODUCER

Sonny King is an artist but a musician first. Sonny’s true passion for music began at the age of eight. His uncle gifted him a saxophone and then he fell in love with the drums in high school. Around the age of 16, Sonny came across a keyboard and the rest is history.

​

After serving in the United States Marine Corps, Sonny returned home and built the record label I.T.Y Music, in a small town in Virginia. His Hip Hop group, The Family, rose to household fame in North Carolina and Virginia. Producing six independant albums and having his song “Bout it All” featured on DJ Green Lantern’s Monster Mash mixtape series gave Sonny the buzz he needed to be heard by upcoming record label, NVS Music Group. Sonny signed with NVS, toured and performed in clubs and venues across the country. He worked with major artists and producers such as Cliff and Darren Lighty (LL Cool J, Jaheim, Aaliyah), Levi Little from Blackstreet (R&B Supergroup) and D-Moet (producer for NAS and P Diddy), and released several songs eventually landing a single deal with Universal for his pop crossover hit “She Got Swag” and “Ball Like Magic”.
