Sonia & Nigel

Sonia & Nigel are a multi-cultural acoustic duo featuring French-American Paris-born Sonia Wilson on vocals & ukulele and Kiwi-American virtuoso musician Nigel Gavin on 7-string guitar. They weave French, Kiwi and American songs with their own original compositions and inspiration from their travels around the world. After meeting and playing together for the first time at a folk festival during Sonia’s first visit to New Zealand on a solo round-the-world trip in December 2014, the pair have since become a well-loved duo in the New Zealand music scene and beyond. Sharing songs as a vehicle for peace, joy, laughter, healing and community-building, they celebrate beauty, love, life and ecology through their music.

From early May to late July 2026, we are heading off on our first self-booked and self-funded tour of France and Europe!
