Sonia De Los Santos was born with a smile on her face (that’s what her mom says) in Monterrey, Mexico. A bilingual singer-songwriter and children’s book author, she creates songs and stories inspired by her journey, her roots, and her love of bringing people together across generations and cultures.

As a solo artist, Sonia has released four family music albums and an EP, including Mi Viaje: De Nuevo León to the New York Island, ¡Alegría!, Esperanza, A Month to Remember, and her latest album, Música. Her music weaves together Latin American rhythms with the folk traditions of the United States, and her recordings have reached family audiences nationwide through radio airplay on SiriusXM’s Kids Place.

A Latin Grammy® nominee, Sonia has been recognized by Billboard as “one of the Latin Children’s music artists you should know.” She has performed at venues and festivals including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The New Victory Theater, Lollapalooza, and the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.

Sonia’s love of storytelling extends beyond music. She’s also the author of bilingual children’s books inspired by her songs, published by Norton Young Readers, the children’s imprint of W. W. Norton. Her debut book, La Golondrina, was published in February 2026, and her second book, Este Año, will be available in December 2026.
