'''Sonia''' (stylized as '''SONIA''') is a Genesi/Nagatoian pop duo from [[Greenwood, Nagato|Greenwood]], [[Nagato]] that formed in 2018. The group consisted of [[Sonia Dawn]] (songwriter, vocals, and drum machine) and [[Rosa May]] (songwriter and vocals). After a chance meeting at a club in Greenwood, Dawn and May created SONIA after they flipped a coin to see who the newly created band would be named after. They released their debut single “[[Love Will Leave You Crying]]” in June 2018.

On June 10th, the [[Royal Ruby]] in Greenwood had an open mic, and both Dawn and May showed up along with a few dozen people to tryout. Among the audience was a promotor from Yuki Labels who was trying to find the next big thing in Nagato. Dawn performed [[Take Off]] (a song that she wrote and would, later on, edit with May) and May performed her song [[I’ll Be There]]. After the event, the two met up and had a few drinks to celebrate each other’s performances. The promotor came up to them and congratulated them on their performances and asked if they would like to do it full time. That’s when May asked Dawn if she would like to be part of a band and go global. Dawn replied with an excited yes and the three drank to it.

SONIA’s name comes from flipping a coin on who gets to pick the name. May picked tails, so Dawn got heads. Dawn has said SONIA comes from, “My first two and fourth letters in my name S-N-I, and May’s vowels in her name O-A, combined them together and you get SONIA! I wanted to name it after myself, but I also wanted to include May in the name so that she is connected to the band.
