MJB_7877_2A stage trained actor and singer, Sonja has been captivated by performance since her first solos in grade school productions.

Sonja Gabrielsen was born in San Francisco, CA, but shortly moved to New Jersey after a serious earthquake, igniting one of her life passions, geology.  Her mother is from Stockholm, Sweden and her father from Princeton, NJ, and she grew up bilingual as a consequence.

Singing from the first day she started talking, music has always played an essential role in her development as a performer, and this helped her onto the Carnegie Hall Stage in the 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons with the New York POPs.  She studied Theatre Arts and Earth Sciences at Cornell University, developing both scientific and professional skills alongside her true passion of performance.

Sonja is a member of one New York’s longest running theatre companies, The Snarks.
