Perhaps in a past life, SONiA was one of the original troubadours, a

poet-musician roaming Europe in the 11th-13th centuries, singing songs of

courtly love. She certainly is a contemporary troubadour, crooning folk

songs about romantic love, often forbidden.


 Whether in the bomb shelters "Miklats" in Israel or summer camps in

Palestine, colleges, festivals or venues around the world SONiA is always

striving to disappear fear and spread her message of Peace. She has been

nominated for a Grammy and has won numerous awards for her albums. She named

her last studio CD "No Bomb Is Smart" and has used every opportunity she has

to let people know that War is not the answer. She Loves Out Loud and Proud

and donates 18% of all downloads of her music to end World Hunger. Jeep

named her as one of 8 troubadours for their new National Campaign and video

of the tour is currently on MTV.


 When sisters SONiA & CiNDY [Rutstein] of Baltimore Maryland created the

Folk-Pop duo disappear fear and signed with Rounder Records in 1994 for the

release of their self-titled CD. The CD won multiple awards including the

GLAAD Award for Best Album, a GLAMA award, and Top Release of the Year by

Mix Magazine. The next release, "Seed in the Sahara", was produced by

Springsteen's piano player, Roy Bittan and won the GLAMA for best band. In

1998, with CiNDY off the road as a full time Mom, Rounder released "Almost

Chocolate", SONiA's first solo CD under her own name. During that year SONiA

toured Europe (Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands) and Australia for the

first time. "Me,Too" her 1999 release won Female Artist of the Year at the

GLAMAs. "Me,Too" was also later chosen by the HRC (Human Rights Campaign)

along with songs by U2 and many others for their compilation CD. "Me,Too"

was also chosen by the Philadelphia Folk Festival for their 40th Year

Anniversary CD (along with Ritchie Havens). Following another solo release

"Live at the Down Home", SONiA decided it was time to bring back the

harmonies which disappear fear has always been known for and added Laura

Cerulli on vocals, percussion and drums. With Laura and other musicians

SONiA & disappear fear released DF05 in 2005 and received rave reviews in

SING OUT as well as other publications around the United States..


 In 2007, the Grammy nominee, will release a brand new CD to el mundo (the

world). 'La Tormenta Santa" will feature 13 songs: 7 sung in Spanish, 3 in

Hebrew and 3 in Arabic and English. The music will match the words in

poetry about Love, Peace and Equality; themes familiar to SONiA's writing

since the creation of her band, "disappear fear". Some of the songs have

been previously performed in English. The music will be classified as WORLD

and Folk-Pop (with a deeper meaning). Latin and Middle Eastern rhythms and

instrumentation along with lush string arrangements and harmonies are

featured on this CD. SONiA & disappear fear will begin the new year with a

'border to border' tour of the USA starting in their home town of Baltimore

to Spokane to San Diego to Dallas.


 SONiA also recently wrote the soundtrack for the documentary Autumn's

Harvest, directed by Dave Marshall. The short film chronicles the life of

Douglas, a migrant worker who is HIV positive. The film is currently being

shown at film festivals around the world.


 SONiA & disappear fear will continue to share their music around the world

in 2007 with tours in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and the Middle

East
