Sonny is a young musical poet, overflowing with energy and bursting with a passion to raise consciousness and provoke thoughts for progress in society, making a hiatus from the commercial negative narrative of many modern day rap and hip hop artists, and stepping beyond the common self-consuming love and sex lyrical plot. His words and music addresses a wide spectrum of topics within society such as social behaviour, media manipulations, permaculture, domestic violence, global agendas and street culture.
At the age of 14, Sonny began experimenting with music in his local Connexions youth center on the Cluny Square estate, Southend. After 140 TV filmed him freestyling, he was encouraged to make a 14-track mixtape, exploring the social issues that had become prevalent in his lyrics. 'When Words Fail Music Speaks' sold 10,000 copies and secured Sonny a weekly residence at renowned Dalston venue Passing Clouds.
After supporting Asian Dub Foundation at a gig at Broadwater Farm, he was quickly recruited to join them live, to date he has played over 50 venues across Europe and has consistently delivered confident live performances opening for a variety of performers including Pete Doherty.
Sonny's debut EP 'Grime Is Punk' is scheduled for release on Hostage Music in April 2016. Lead track 'Bars' is your 3 minute warning that Sonny Green is about to arrive. Centred around a synth riff that smacks you in the face, a heavy bassline and grime beats while Sonny delivers uncensored aggressive consciousness in spectacular fashion. Sonny says "The track is about my bars being undeniable and that I'm here and free to do and say what I like and nothing or no ones going to stop me".
