Diluvia con il sole, questa sono Io.
Born in a small town near Verbania, on August 8th, (Leo, with Gemini ascendant), Sonia Mariotti is a multi faceted artist.
Her peculiar sensitivity expresses itself in many artistic realities: from the title of fashion designer to painting, through text, monologue, poem and song writing (as a regularly enrolled in the SIAE author). Sonia shows an inclination for art since her childhood. She approaches the world of music at the age of only 6, when she starts studying music theory, solfeggio and takes up practicing classical organ. As a result of this experience, she feels a vocation for singing, which she starts studying passionately.
Afterwards she experiences her first artistic collaborations in the field of songwriting, during which many different authors compose new and unheard songs, specially modeled on her personality.
In 1994 Sonia lives her first recording studio experience, when she records a dance music track named “Take My Heart”, written by her and released in the foreign music market. Then she takes more singing lessons to improve her lyric technique as a mezzo-soprano.
In 2002 she begins an eight year collaboration with the recording company Polygram (later renamed Universal Music), which starts thanks to the encounter with the director manager of the latter, Michele Del Vecchio. This experience allows her to meet several authors of the Italian pop music panorama. At the same time she performs nationally in a cover band, proposing a live repertoire of pop - rock music of the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Sonia then decides to resume the study of interpretative singing, adding diction, intonation technique and acting classes. In this regard she collaborates with the Stresa Academy, where she is tutored by Dario Lagostina, a genial teacher of emotional expression, who approaches her to the Stanislavskij-Strasberg method for the theatre and singing finishing. This encounter will be crucial for her artistic growth.
Later she enrolls in the Sanremo Festival of the Authors, where she takes part in the last campus in May 2009, during which she starts a collaboration with one of the authors, M. Opinato, with whom she writes the single “Cristalli Di Carte”. She gets to the finals and on June, 21st 2009 she is invited, out of the race, as a guest to the show held at the Casino Theatre in Sanremo, where she performs in the finale, presenting her single, which is later included in the official compilation of the Festival.
Later she signs a contract with Sanremo Musica Classic and Advice Music and she records her first album, “Cristalli Di Carte”, released at the end of January 2010. As an author, in collaboration with Advice Music, she signs a single named “Tagli Di Una Dea”, which is among the selections for the 60th edition of the Festival of the Italian Song of Sanremo, in the “New Generation” section.
In 2011, still collaborating with Advice Music, she signs the hit “Sabato Sera è Qui”, selected for the Sanremo Festival, in the “Giovani” section.
In April 2011 Sonia releases her new record “Libera”, which is available in the best record stores, at Feltrinelli and Ricordi Mediastore and also online, on Believe, Amazon, iTunes and all the 79 digital portals worldwide.
In July 2011 the “Rabiosa Estate 2011” compilation is released, where Sonia’s single “Stand Up” (from her album “Libera”) is featured. This one is also available at Feltrinelli and Ricordi Mediastore, in all the shopping malls and online.
Later the “Winter Hit Compilation 2012” released and it features Sonia’s track “Cuore D’America” (from her album “Libera”), which you can buy in the best record stores, in all the shopping malls, at Feltrinelli and Ricordi Mediastore and, of course, online worldwide.
As an author collaborating with Advice Music, she signs eleven tracks for a young artist named Steby, whose album release is expected in spring 2013, produced by Major.
On September, 9th 2013 Sonia releases her latest work, the album “Murales” (Advice Music/Edel), available in all the record stores and digital music stores.
On May, 19th 2014 she is busy recording her new single “Pure Pain”, soon available in all the digital music stores.
