Sonsie X takes flight to
Neo-soul singer and dub poet Sonsie X gets off the mark with her latest single The Love Nest.
Born in Kingston, Sonsie (real name Sonsie Bell) resides in Kansas City, Missouri.
“My inspiration behind reggae music, and music in general, generates from my love and passion for beats. I’ve concluded that reggae music has the ability to bridge cultural divides, empower individuals and communities, raise social awareness, and promote togetherness as an invaluable tool necessary to encourage, educate, and heal today’s society,” she reasoned.
The Love Nest is her debut recording. It is produced by Ryan Castillo, a Kansas City producer. She is also doing work locally with Pay Day Music which is behind her debut album.
Austin Green, a spokesperson for Pay Day Music, spoke about the project.
“The approach will be a bit different, but as a musician you’re expected to do music, and music is universal. So it will also be a new, refreshing experience for me,” he said.
