The Deets:

Appears On: Standalone new single.
Current Location: Las Vegas, NV
Info: Singer/songwriter from the US., born in Guam with Indian & Filipino heritage. Sonia is sponsored by Gibson Guitars and plays a Gibson ES225 & Gibson M2.

Said Sonia on the new song: “I created this song on a 2 channel looper by using vocal harmonies and my electric guitar. The lyrics were inspired by a question my friend asked me, “Should I move to Spain?” We laughed, because both of us knew what the best answer was and I responded with, “Do whatever you want.” and from then on I began writing lyrics. During the process I realized this song was also about my personal journey, combatting my own self-doubt about my music. I’ve come to a point in my life where I believe full-heartedly in what I do, and I’m ready for “whatever” comes my way.”
Comments: In 2018, the DIY artist can create something just as potent as any overproduced product with tons of money being put into. It’s a beautiful thing that you don’t need all the bells and whistles to create something so compelling and enchanting. Sonia Barcelona’s new single is exhibit A. With smooth and comforting vocals alongside her looping electric guitar, Sonia uses a simpler approach in exploring self-doubt on “WHATEVER”, delivering a powerful and motivating tool through her new single.
