Sonaali is an emerging artist who redefines the sound of R&B. With rich, soulful vocals and emotional rawness, her music is a magnetic blend of hypnotic melodies, intimate storytelling and cultural duality.

 

Born and raised in Toronto, Sonaali found herself navigating two worlds - the vibrant traditions of her heritage and the modern rhythm of Western life.  While that duality came with its challenges, it also became her greatest inspiration.  Drawn to the powerful voices of artists like Rihanna and Alicia Keys, and shaped by the intricate sounds of South Asian music, she began carving a path that was entirely her own. Trained from a young age as a professional vocalist and recording artist, she has performed at major events across Toronto, including Desifest, The Taste Of Danforth, and large-scale galas, captivating audiences of up to 50,000 people.

 

Sonaali burst onto the scene with her debut single, “Like a Tide” in August 2022. Her latest release “Crazy” offered a refreshing new sound, capturing empowerment, sensuality, and the magnetic push-pull of desire. Sonaali recently collaborated with Brampton-known Rapper Spitty on “Kush”, the breakout track from his most recent album. With over 360,000+ streams on all DSP’s, 50,000+ new listeners on Spotify, and placements in over 3,000+ playlists, Kush has become the album’s top-performing song.

 

Her sound continues to evolve through genre-bending sultry R&B production with experimental tones, and melodies that feel both nostalgic and new. Through every track, Sonaali tells stories of identity, love, and self-worth — not from a place of conflict, but from the strength she found in embracing all sides of who she is. Whether on stage or in the studio, Sonaali creates not just music, but connection. Her art is a reflection of her journey — bold, honest, and rooted in the belief that there is power in owning your story.

 

With a voice full of heart and a vision rooted in authenticity, Sonaali creates music that resonates with all who listen. She has the skills and unique musicality to create a new sound, a true hybrid bearing her Canadian and Indian influences, taking her songs to a completely new place.
