Testimonials

Sonya creatively engages with all elements of a performance. Her writing captures the thoughts and struggles faced by a diverse audience. Her use of character and storytelling transport you to a place of uninterrupted awareness. Sincerity, vulnerability and a Holy Spirit-led journey inspires each word that is spoken and leaves the listener with a sense of conviction and hope.

Tim Smith, Musician, Producer

Sonya is a soul that is not immune to doubt, fear, regret and pain. It is in the difficult moments of life that she tunes her ear to Jesus, waiting for fresh hope and understanding. A poet prophet, she speaks out the faith, hope and love she is given.

Sarah Howe O’Brien, Author

Sonya has a great sense of cadence and dynamic and keeps her listeners engaged and intrigued - like chasing a fragrance coming out of the kitchen. She tackles heart issues and is not afraid to challenge. She is not afraid to share out of her own experiences and what comes through most strongly for me is her love for Jesus and a passion to introduce others to what is her most important and precious treasure.

John Knight, Director and Principal of EXCEL School of Performing Arts

Sonya creates her poetry and spoken word with a full heart, and delivers it with a passion that speaks to the depths of your being.

Philippa Kirby, Pastor at Kāpiti Impact Church

Sonya has a very rare gift. With hard-hitting lyrics and engaging performance she captivates an audience's mind and touches their emotions in a very powerful way. Her poetry is dynamic, well crafted and thought provoking!

Luke Collis, Founder and Director of UNASHAMED.
