Independent
recording artist Sonia Vannest of Orlando, Florida
recently received recognition by the “Song of
the Year Contest”. Song of
the Year is an international songwriting contest
supporting VH-1’s Save the Music Foundation. The Song
of the Year judges are some of the biggest names in
music including many Grammy Award winners.
Sonia received the honor of being named one of the top
suggested artists to listen to by
the Song of the Year (
http://www.songoftheyear.com/ ) songwriting
contest.
Song
of the Year is excited to recognize Sonia Vannest for
her exceptional songwriting ability for the song “a
thing or 2”. Sonia
competed against songwriters from all over the world
for this honor. When asked what inspired the song,
Sonia commented that “ a thing or 2 is about the kind
of love that we should have for each other that’s
described in “chapter 13”, but we so often miss the
mark in demonstrating - I wanted to put it in modern
day lyrical terms that would be easily embraced by
people of any background, not just religious words and
phrases that most people who listen to top 40 rock
radio wouldn’t get.”
Currently Sonia is concentrating on her upcoming full
CD release “a thing or 2” due out later in 2004. “a
thing or 2” is the first single release off the
forthcoming album produced by Chris Shandrow and will
include chart bound modern rock songs written by Sonia
as well as a few co-writes by Sonia and other artists
like Teresa Garcia and Jerome Fontamillas of
Switchfoot.
