Raised in the heart of East Tennessee’s old-time music scene, Sonata Lee’s upbringing was steeped in Appalachian folk traditions and mindfulness. Her father—a mandolin virtuoso and single dad—taught her to embrace both the soulful melodies of the mountains and the power of yoga, philosophy, and mindfulness.
For Sonata, tradition isn’t a boundary, but a foundation. In a region untouched by modern sound, she blends Appalachian roots with the healing power of contemporary soundwork. Her approach isn’t just a sound bath—it’s a living composition, where history and innovation collide, shifting energy and healing the soul.
