Sonny Step

Sonny Step has established himself as a potent force in an eclectic array of musical genres, bringing to bear his skills as a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist in a variety of impressive contexts. Whether he is performing on the Late Show with Vic Mensa, singing with Rihanna and Shawn Mendes at a renowned music award ceremony, working with Ricky Martin, playing with Major Lazer at Governors Ball, performing as a founder and bandleader with Hudson Horns, or joining Solange at a plush performance at the Guggenheim, Sonny works hard to seamlessly blend into an ensemble or stand out in a solo act.

Born and raised in Philly, Sonny was exposed in large doses to RnB, soul, rock, and jazz. He routinely performs as a lead singer, showcasing his own writing and that of other established acts. His singing is deeply influenced by the likes of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. He is a jazz-trained Saxophonist whose style hearkens back to a range of players and bands such as Dexter Gordon and Parliament-Funkadelic. Step’s original compositions feature smooth and soulful harmonies and heavy grooves that
stylistically interweave 1990’s RnB with dance beats straight out of the late 70’s and early 80’s. Sonny brings musicality and groove to every project including rap and trap efforts and fusion outfits coming out of the Steely Dan and Miles Davis vibes.
