Sonia Reid is a dynamic vocalist, seasoned performer, and dedicated vocal coach with over 25 years of experience helping singers unlock their full potential. A graduate of Redeemer University with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, she is a Licensed NeuroVocal Instructor for Popular Styles and a Suzuki Trained Vocal Teacher (Levels 1 & 2).
