The World According to
SONIA ASTACIO

Music ran in the family house: gospel harmonies sung in church with siblings, every melody colored by heritage and heart. Originally drawn to the refined sounds of jazz — voices like Ella Fitzgerald and Sinatra defined her young ears.

Then she heard the raw soul of Chicago electric blues — the grit, the pain, the power, the truth. One listen changed everything.

Today, Sonia Astacio brings those worlds together: Afro-Latina roots, gospel-honed voice, and the power of electric blues. Her performances — some sung in Spanish, some in English — carry the weight of history and the fire of the present.

She is more than a singer. She’s a storyteller, a bridge between heritage and heart, a voice for lives lived — all grounded in Chicago’s legendary blues tradition.
