About Sonia Rutstein

Sonia Rutstein, a.k.a. SONiA, is one half of the sister duo Disappear Fear, an American folk/power pop band formed in Baltimore in 1987. They released four albums, then in 1996, Cindy Rutstein ceased playing regularly with the band in order to become a mother but occasionally still performs with them. Sonia Rutstein started a solo career (as “SONiA”). Her lyrics often address GLBT rights and other progressive political causes. Her 2004 CD No Bomb Is Smart was nominated for a Grammy, in spite of, or perhaps because of its outspoken opposition to current US foreign policy. Since its release, she has been campaigning as a recording artist against SoundExchange’s (and RIAA’s) efforts to dramatically increase fees to small webcasters. Her website http://www.soniadf.com has more information on all the above projects. Her music is generally listed on the last.fm page Sonia because of incorrect ID3 tags.
