Sonata Lee Cantata

Meet Sonata Lee – Weaving Tradition & Transformation

Sonata Lee Cantata is a sonic shapeshifter and storyteller of vibration. Rooted in Appalachian tradition yet unbound by it, she moves effortlessly between sacred soundscapes, folktronica storytelling, and bass-driven dance music that pulses with raw energy. Her work is both ritualistic and rebellious, weaving ancestral tones with modern production to create music that invites deep listening and movement alike. Refusing confinement to any one genre, Sonata Lee Cantata channels sound as magic—ancient, futuristic, and fiercely her own.
