Sophia is a San Diego native and has been singing her whole life. Her passion for music started with piano lessons at a young age and joining the church youth choir where she stayed for over 10 years! Her love of music continued through high school where she was part of the Madrigals choir. In college she joined the Point Loma Singers at Point Loma Nazarene University as well as their jazz ensemble. After taking a few years off, she got the bug to sing again. She wanted to stretch out and join a rock and roll band and found a home with Sonic Tonic! She hopes to rock all over San Diego and Southern California.

 

 

Glen began playing piano, saxophone, and guitar as a young boy growing up in Ridgecrest, California, a remote town in the middle of the Mojave Desert. He joined his first band as a keyboard player and rhythm guitarist at age 15 and remained active in local bands until he left for college.  At Fresno State, he played tenor saxophone in the university’s jazz band but still yearned to play rock and roll.  When he had an opportunity to join a rock band as a bassist during his sophomore year, he borrowed a bass guitar, purchased an amp for $100, and was immediately hooked.  Since then, Glen has played bass guitar for numerous bands in Fresno and, more recently, in San Diego. Glen is excited to provide that link now for Sonic Tonic.

Dave comes from New York’s Hudson Valley. At about the age of about 12 he started to play guitar to all the 80’s metal bands he could fill his ears with. Dave had been playing in both original and cover bands in the NY area since the early 90’s (No Justice and Fractured had the most success). He had to leave his last band to move to San Diego in late 2012. After the move to SD, Dave didn’t play much until recently when he got bit by the music bug again mid to late 2022 and is now ready to rock with Sonic Tonic!

Tommy hails from San Diego, CA. Tommy is a very talented multi-instrumentalist who adds a whole new dimension to Sonic Tonic's sound. He plays both keys and guitar. Tommy grew up teaching himself to play guitar and piano along with his record collection and what ever popped up on the radio. When Tommy turned 19 he decided to study music academically. He began both guitar and drum lessons as well as music theory and ear training lessons along with playing in different ensembles through Mesa College, Mira Costa College and SDSU. When Tommy isn't playing with Sonic Tonic, he enjoys all that San Diego has to offer. Tommy is also a solo artist and can be booked at his website: www.tommychaconmusic.com
