Currently based in Liverpool we\u2019ve only been given one taste of his signature sound, it may be small but it\u2019s definitely mighty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Track &#8216;Drama&#8217; has seen Sonijoh be featured on the ARFM Productions\u2019 movie &#8216;Go Method&#8217;, but what makes it so great? We took a listen and here\u2019s what we found out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sonijoh has the rawest, deep, and passion-infused vocals we\u2019ve heard in a long time. Merged with acoustic tones, blues twangs and a dash of indie-rock they\u2019re excelled into a infectious beat filled track. The use of varied musical instrument additions, enchanting riffs and a solid backline beat result in a dramatic scene being set. The vocals and backing vocals work in sync to bounce off each other matching the musical backing tone from angst to sincere heartfelt moments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the upcoming months, the soloist is making progress on his debut EP which we hopefully won\u2019t be waiting too long for! Keep up to date with his progress at his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sonijoh\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/sonijoh\/\">Soundcloud<\/a> page.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hailing from Norway, Sonijoh is the latest artist to tackle singer-songwriting blues style.
