Sony Holland may have started out singing Italian Arias but she was soon drawn to the sophistication of jazz and the Great American Songbook. “I fell in love…that’s the best way to put it. I fell in love with Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Cole Porter, Harry Warren, etc… Sometimes I feel as if I was born out of time.”

Here’s what some critics are saying about her:

“Sony Holland delivers passion and elegance through every phrase...The voice is warm, full and engaging. Sony is becoming a favorite request from our world wide listening audience."
- Dr. Mike Metheny of Radio IO Jazz

"If there were any justice, Sony Holland would be enjoying the same sort of international acclaim accorded Diana Krall." - Paul Freeman of the Daily News Group

“She has perfect intonation, can float a lyric without losing her grip on it, and is always completely locked into the spirit of the song. She made every song fresh, full-faced, and personal, as if she was telling me a story. I believed every word! Whatever you call this rare and special quality, Sony has it - big time.” - Veteran jazz promoter Dick LaPalm had this to say after a recent concert at L.A. ’s Catalina Jazz Club

"A vocal experience not to be missed… with smooth delivery; lyrical pleasure and heartfelt emotion."
- Pete Fallico, DJ KCSM San Francisco
