ʻO ka mele Pelekania a me DJ Sonya Clark, i ʻike ʻia ma lalo o ka pseudonym Sonic, i hānau ʻia ma Iune 21, 1968 ma Lākana. Mai kona wā kamaliʻi, ua hoʻopuni ʻia ʻo ia e nā leo o ka ʻuhane a me nā mele kahiko mai ka ʻohi a kona makuahine.
I ka makahiki 1990, lilo ʻo Sonic i pop diva Pelekania a he DJ mele hula kaulana ma ka honua.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi o ka mea hīmeni
I kona wā kamaliʻi, he mau leʻaleʻa ʻē aʻe ʻo Sonic, no laila ʻaʻole mākou e lohe i kāna mele. Mai ka makahiki 6, ua hana ʻo Sonia liʻiliʻi, me ke kino maikaʻi loa, i nā hoʻolālā koʻikoʻi no ka haʻuki. “Ua moe au e lilo i poʻokela honua. Aʻo ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā. Manaʻo wau he manaʻo nui koʻu i nā haʻuki," wahi a Sonic.
Akā i ka makahiki 15, ua ha'alele 'o ia i kēia 'oihana, a lawe 'o ia i ka lua o ka ho'okūkū. Ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke lanakila, pono ʻo ia e hana i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe. I ka makahiki 2, ua haʻi ʻia ʻo Sonia he leo maikaʻi kona, no laila ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e lawe i ke mele.
ʻO ka hoʻomakaʻana o kaʻoihana mele a ka mea pena
I ka makahiki 17, ua komo ʻo Sonya i ka hui reggae ʻo Fari, kahi i hoʻohanohano ai ʻo ia i kāna mau mele mele. A laila hele ʻo ia i kekahi o nā wā paʻakikī loa o kona ola. Ua hoʻoholo kona makuahine e hoʻi i Trinidad, akā ua koi ke kaikamahine ua kūʻokoʻa ʻo ia a makemake e noho ma Lākana.
ʻO ka hopena, ua lilo ʻo ia i home ʻole. Noho ʻo Sony ma nā alanui a ʻai i nā ʻāpana. ʻO kēia ka mea i noʻonoʻo nui ai ke kaikamahine i kona ola, no laila ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e kau inoa i kahi ʻaelike e hana i kāna mele mua.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Sonic e hana pū me Cooltempo Records a hoʻokuʻu i ke mele Let Me Hold You. Ua hiki koke kēia mele i ka 25 kiʻekiʻe o nā papa hula hula UK me ka ʻole o ka hoʻolaha ʻana.
A laila ua komo ke kaikamahine i nā papahana a nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, e hui pū ana me Tim Simenon a me Mark More. Ua kaulana loa ka hui S'Express, kahi i hoʻokani ai ʻo Sonic. Akā, ma hope o kona hā'ule'ana, pono ke kaikamahine e no'ono'o e pili ana i ka 'oihana solo.
ʻO ka hana Sonic DJ a me nā hana hui
I lilo i DJ, ua noho ʻo Sonya i ʻekolu mau makahiki e noho ana ma ka home a me ke aʻo ʻana. No ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi hana ma kēia kahua hoʻokūkū nui, ua haʻi ʻo ia i nā mea hana e pili ana i kona hiki ke hīmeni. ʻO ka hīmeni ʻana, ka pāʻani ʻana ma ke ʻano he DJ a me ka lilo ʻana i wahine i kēlā manawa he manaʻo maoli.
I ka makahiki 1994 ua ho'omaka 'o ia ma ke 'ano he DJ. I Ianuali 1995, ua hana ʻo Sonic i kāna helehelena DJ piha piha ma Swankey Mode, kahi hui ʻo Lākana e holo ʻia e Simon Belofsky. Loaʻa iā ia nā mea pā ʻaʻole wale ma ʻEulopa, akā ma Hong Kong, Australia, a me Jamaica.
I ka makahiki 1997, ua lilo ʻo Sonic i kamaʻāina o ka hui ʻo Manumission Club ma Ibiza. Ma laila ʻo ia i hālāwai ai me nā poʻe koʻikoʻi he nui i kōkua iā ia i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kāna album mua.
Ma ka like, ua pāʻani ʻo ia i ka hale ma nā hui e like me Cream ma Liverpool a me Gatecrasher ma Sheffield. Ua hana ʻo ia ma Kelemānia, USA, Singapore, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Australia, Italia a me Norewai.
"Ma ʻEnelani, hoʻomaka nā mele pop ma nā hui. Ma ke ʻano he DJ, ua ʻike wau i ka makemake o ka poʻe ke hele lākou i nā hui, "wahi a Sonic.
ʻO ka piko o ka kaulana o ka mea mele
Ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i ka kaulana nui ma hope o kahi hana ma 1999 ma Tampa, kahi i hoʻokani ai ʻo ia i kāna mele It Feels So Good. Ua lilo koke kēia haku mele i mea kaulana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Mai ia manawa mai, ua hoʻomaka nā lekiō a me nā lepili leo like ʻole i ka hoihoi i ka hiki o Sonic.
Ma hope o ka lanakila nui o It Feels So Good ma US, ua hoʻokuʻu hou ʻo Sonic iā ia ma ʻEulopa. Ua ʻae kēia iā ia e komo i ka papa inoa o nā DJ kaulana loa ma ʻEulopa. Ua hoʻomaka ke kani ʻana o kāna mau haku mele ma ʻAmelika, ʻEulopa, a ma nā ʻāina ʻo ʻApelika.
Akā, ua hui pū ʻia ka holomua me ka pōʻino pilikino. I ka wā i lawe ai kēia mea hoʻokahi i nā palapala honua, ua kau inoa ʻo Sonic i kahi ʻaelike me Serious Records, a laila nalowale koke ʻo ia i kāna keiki, āna i hāpai ai no ʻewalu mahina. "ʻO kēia ka mea ʻino loa a me ka mea luku loa i loaʻa iaʻu i koʻu ola," wahi a Sonic.
ʻOiai ua paʻakikī loa iā ia ke ola ʻana i kēia nalowale, ua hoʻolaha ka hale hoʻopaʻa leo i kahi ultimatum iā ia. Pono ʻo ia e hoʻokuʻu i kahi album mele i nā lā he 40. A ua hana ʻo ia! He hōʻoia maopopo kēia o ka hoʻoholo a me ke kālena o Sonic. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kāna album studio mua, Hear My Cry, ma 2000.
Ua kaulana koke kēia album ma ʻEulopa. Ma luna o 1 miliona mau kope i kūʻai ʻia ma UK wale nō. A laila hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i ka Sky hoʻokahi, āna i hoʻolaʻa ai i kāna keiki nalowale. Ua paʻi kēia mea hoʻokahi #2 ma ka UK Singles Chart i Kepakemapa 2000. A i Nowemapa, ua hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia ʻo I Put A Spell On You e komo i ka 10 kiʻekiʻe o ka pakuhi Pelekane.
Aia ʻo Sonic ma nā ʻaoʻao o ka Guinness Book of Records ma ke ʻano he wahine kiʻi mele mua i lilo i mea maikaʻi loa ma kēia māhele no ʻekolu pule i ka lālani. Ma ka 2001 Brit Awards, ua loaʻa iā ia ka makana no "Best British Female Solo Artist". Ua koho ʻia ʻo ia ma kēia hoʻokūkū ma nā ʻāpana: Best Dance Act, Best Dance Newcomer, Best Single a me Best Video.
Hoʻomohala ʻoihana kiʻi kiʻi
I Malaki 2000, hoʻomaka ʻo Sonic e hui pū me Eric Harle, kahi mea hana mai DEF Management. ʻO ka hopena, ua loaʻa iā ia nā kono e hāʻawi i nā nīnauele ma ka lekiō a me ke kīwī, ua komo i nā hoʻokūkū DJ like ʻole a hoʻonui i kona koʻikoʻi i ka honua mele.
I ka makahiki 2004, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ka mea mele i kahi ʻaelike me Kosmo Records, kahi i hoʻokuʻu ai i kahi album hou, On Kosmo. Ma nā palapala kiʻi, he "hāʻule" kēia album. ʻOiai ʻo ia, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo ia i kahi huakaʻi ʻEulopa ma 2007 e kākoʻo i kēia album. Ma ka like, ua hana ʻo ia ma ka album aʻe.
