Bio

Sonny started playing guitar at the age of 11. He first started on bass then switched to guitar a few months later. He was ranked "Top Guitarist" at the age of 15 through The Performing School of Arts in Erie, Pa and pursued studies in Jazz. He was the head guitar, bass and drum tech while studying at the multi-million dollar Platinum Post recording studio, located in Winter Park, Fl. This studio recorded such notables as Bon Jovi, Deep Purple and Michael Jackson. He has also done guitar work for TV commercials and radio work for local stations in Orlando, FL.

His dilligence and focus towards maintaining a high degree of craftsmanship in his guitar playing has been reflected as Sonny being one of the fastest and most accurate guitar player in the U.S. metal underground. He is also only one of two people (the first is the phenamenol Michael Angelo Batio) to play the double-guitar - a true right handed and true left handed instrument.

Sonny is currently gearing up for his first instructional DVD as well as heading to China, Singapore and back to New Zealand to tour for his first full length CD "In The Hall of Hanging Lights". He recently contributed a song to Killer Wolf Film's"Curse Of The Wolf" soundtrack as well writing a song to an earlier movie release,"Swamp Zombies." Music has kept him busy over the years as an international touring/session guitarist performing in Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia and 41 American states -headlining metal fests in Los Angeles and Austalia while playing with Incantaion.

He has held dozens of sold out guitar clinics as well as contributing guest solos to many local and national acts.

Sonny is currently working with Curtmangan strings, Guitarwheel, Coffin cases and Halo guitars.
