Sone G’s Undefeated
Gospel recording artiste Sone G says the experiences that men go through in their personal and professional lives were what inspired his latest single Undefeated, a collaboration with DaJourney.
“We are family men; we work hard and we have big dreams. We are fighters, unwavering in our pursuit of success, not willing to settle for anything short of what we desire. We desire financial freedom, stability, and attaining tremendous success. Going into 2025 we talked about how we would want this year to look, and it was clear we want to win! That’s the inspiration for Undefeated,” Sone G told the
Jamaica Observer in an interview on Friday.
Said Sone G: “DaJourney is my brother, such a talented singer, producer, mixing and master engineer, I call him the talent. Working with DaJourney is easy. We talk constantly each day, and this song was really birthed out of a conversation we were having. He said something interesting, and I wrote it down, texted it to him and voilà the song came alive. Every collaboration we do somehow ends up being a fan favourite. It’s easy to work with another talent of that calibre.”
Undefeated will most likely end up being featured on an EP that Sone G is working on at present.
The project will be his first body of work since he started his journey in gospel music more than 15 years ago.
“I am currently working on an EP. I want to ensure proper established presence before fully releasing that project. A project must always be memorable and have a place in history; I want to make history with the EP, the Grammy kind. In the interim, I will be releasing as many singles as possible,” Sone G shared.
As an artiste he began his musical journey while a member of the gospel duo PositivNRG.
“I was a part of PositivNRG for roughly 10 years along with the other member, who is now known as Nahti Prince. It was great to be a part of the duo, as we were both learning the craft and ironing out our writing skills, so it was great. It also formed a lifelong brotherhood, so it was more than just music,” said Sone G.
He spoke about his musical background and what led him to Christianity.
“I grew up in a family that owned and operated a sound system called Turbo Sonic in Rocky Point, Clarendon. So music came with being a part of the family. I loved the turntable and seeing how the selector operated it. I also got to see famous artistes at the time passing through our community, whether to eat seafood or just doing business with the sound system. That being said, I became a Christian in 1998, going into my second year at Clarendon College. That changed how I was going to operate my life, but I knew music would have a role to play. During that time period Papa San, Stitchie, Chevelle Franklyn got saved then came along the new Main Street Crew with Danny Browne, Prodigal, DJ Nicholas, Ryan Mark, Jason Mighty, Mr Gallimore, and others who essentially opened that pathway for me,” Stone G disclosed.
He shared that his conversation to a life in Christ was not ordinary. It was as though Christianity chose him and not the other way around.
Sone G continued: “To this day it’s a mystery to me. I never really chose to become a Christian in my mind, I simply had an overwhelming experience at a church altar that was so dominant that it seemed as though my entire being didn’t really have a choice. But I was conscious in my position about what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a Christian and be influenced by that same power I experienced at that altar. Since then my relationship with the Lord has been healthy, vibrant, ever-changing, and always interesting. It’s funny how we can talk so openly about a relationship with another being that is not physical and then try to explain that to another person who might not share your passion about the matter. Life is such that a simple look beyond the surface clearly shows that life does not begin in a physical form, generally life happens in the spirit first then manifests in a physical sense.”
Born Cecil Wilson, Sone G has been residing in the United States for close to 20 years. While attending Clarendon College, he played football with the school’s team in competitions.
“I was a central midfielder, a maestro if you will. I was a decent midfielder but a standout central defender, that’s where I had most of my success. Had I stuck to that path I am confident I would have become a professional and represented my country,” he said.
