About
Sonaré is an emerging female DJ from Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, driven by a deep passion for music and the art of sound.
With a particular love for Afro House, her style is rooted in rhythm, emotion and connection. Naturally reserved off the decks, she finds her voice through music, using every set to tell a story, read the room and take the audience on a journey.
Known for her vibrant, upbeat mixes, Sonaré goes beyond just playing records. She creates atmosphere, builds energy, and delivers sets that are engaging and memorable.
For Sonaré, music is more than sound. It is a language, an identity and a connection. She is steadily carving out her own place in the scene, with the ambition to leave a lasting impression wherever the music takes her.
