      Whether in the bomb shelters "Miklats" in Israel or summer camps in Palestine, Human Rights Events, Colleges, Festivals or Venues around the world SONiA is always striving to ‘disappear fear’ and spread her message of Peace. In fall 2007 SONiA released a new CD with her band ‘disappear fear’ to the world (al mundo). “t a n g o" features 13 songs in Spanish, Hebrew, Arabic and English. The music matches the words in poetry about Love, Peace and Equality; themes familiar to SONiA's writing since the creation of ‘disappear fear.’  After releasing three albums on their own disappear fear signed with Warner Chappell Publishing and Rounder Records in 1994 for the release of their self-titled CD. The CD won multiple awards including the GLAAD Award for Best Album, a GLAMA award, and Top Release of the Year by Mix Magazine. The next release, "Seed in the Sahara," was produced by Springsteen's piano player, Roy Bittan and won the GLAMA for best band. In 1998 Rounder released "Almost Chocolate," SONiA's first solo CD. During that year SONiA toured Europe (Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands) and Australia for the first time. "Me,Too" her 1999 release won Female Artist of the Year at the GLAMAs. "Me,Too" was also later chosen by the HRC (Human Rights Campaign) along with songs by U2 and many others for their compilation CD. "Me,Too" was also chosen by the Philadelphia Folk Festival for their 40th Year Anniversary CD.  Following another solo release "Live at the Down Home," SONiA released “No Bomb Is Smart” to rave reviews and a nomination for “Best Contemporary Folk.” She decided it was time to bring back the harmonies which disappear fear has always been known for and added Laura Cerulli on vocals, percussion and drums.  SONiA has written several soundtracks for films including the 2006 documentary Autumn’s Harvest directed by Dave Marshall.  The film is playing at film festivals around the world. She is currently working on a musical that will be released in 2009 as well as a Blues CD. When not on the road SONiA does commissioned artwork, including paintings and large murals.
