Born and raised in Southern California, this bubbly singer and songwriter grew up playing guitar, piano and flute. Drawing inspiration from 50s and 60s acts like The Mamas & The Papas and The Beach Boys, she created a tasty retro-pop sound. In 2018 she won a nationwide contest, judged by Jessie J, to record at Capitol Records and released her self-titled debut EP under the moniker Sonara in 2019.
Get ready for a sonic journey through the warm tones of the swinging sixties, because her first single under her own name sounds like a long lost gem of the era. Kicking off with fresh and playful organ chords, it’s soon joined by the sway of a smooth drum and gentle guitar. Highlighting the need to embrace life’s ups and downs, it’s her refined, honey-sweet vocals that fill this groove with retro charm.

Hailing from Melbourne, this Australian band is a musical project around songwriter and vocalist Darren Moss. They’ve already had songs featured on NBC’s TV show “The Biggest Loser”. Drawing inspiration from performers such as The Beatles, REM, Fleetwood Mac and The Beach Boys, they’ve created a lush, one-of-a-kind harmonic rock mix. They debuted with their single “All The Way” in 2021.
Lyrically overcoming the voices in your head, that tell you you’re no good, their new single is actually bursting with positivity. Overall dipped in vintage vibes taken from a myriad of influences, it amalgamates into a jubilant sonic experience. Generally reminiscent of 90s pop/rock bands, it’s the added 70s harmonies, infectious exuberance and soulful horns that make this vibrant tune win our hearts.
