A gifted MC from Milwaukee by way of the African country, Cameroon, Sona, The Voice, proves that good hip-hop can come from any city, town or village on the globe.

Sona's journey to the US explains his drive and politically conscious lyrics. His father left West Africa before Sona was born to pursue a career in the US, leaving him with a childhood surrounded by poverty, misery, and crime.

Sona settled in Milwaukee and enrolled at the University of Wisconsin. To pursue his dream of becoming a recording artist, Sona founded his own label, Imperial Records, and produced then latter released his debut album, Man in the Mirror. His first single, "Dreams," climbed to the #2 spot on the CMJ new music report for the hip-hop genre upon its release and was spun on college radio stations throughout the country.

In 2008, Sona changed the name of his label to Intercession Records and began recording his second album, Afrikan Juju, on which Sona gives voice to the struggles of blacks in both America and Africa. Produced almost entirely by Sona and featuring up and coming Milwaukee MC, Emphasis E., he recorded his latest album with focus of the realities of life.

Sona's goal is to bring about a positive change in the Milwaukee hip-hop community, and help the scene acheive national recognition. His latest record, Afrikan Juju, is set for a June 25, 2009 release.

"I've been for a long time that Rap music is due for a makeover and I do believe that SONA will lead the evolution."
