Australian DJ and producer Sonny Fodera was born in Adelaide, on 10 November 1985. An ace behind the decks and a whiz in the production studio, DJ and producer Sonny Fodera has made a name for himself as one of Australia's top purveyors of soulful, sunshine-drenched house. The dance music mainstay began cooking up hip-hop beats as a teenager before discovering Chicago house legend Derrick Carter and realizing his true calling. After honing his skills as an international DJ, picking up gigs all over the world, 2013 saw the release of Sonny Fodera's first EP, It's Time. A string of party-starting club music followed in its wake, including a full-length debut, Moving Forward, that same year, and 2016's poppier-sounding Frequently Flying. 2019 was a landmark year for the Adelaide-raised artist who released his fourth studio album, the mixtape-friendly Rise, via his own Solotoko imprint, as well as a killer remix of Calvin Harris's "Promises" (with Sam Smith) that caught fire online. His 2020 single with UK artist Ella Eyre unbottled the essence of Sonny Fodera's feel-good dancefloor energy and in 2021, he teamed up again with singer and songwriter Lily Ahlberg (following her appearance on bass-ridden Rise track "The Moment") for single "Closer." Released in October 2021, his fifth album Wide Awake featured contributions from Diplo, Clementine Douglas, MK, Laura Welsh, Sam Tompkins, Vintage Culture, and Fluctual. In 2023, the single "Asking", with MK and Clementine Douglas, reached number 7 on the UK Singles Chart and served as the lead single from the 2026 album Can We Do It All Again? The album also included "Mind Still" (with Blythe, number 68), "Somedays" (with Jazzy and D.O.D, number 5), "Tell Me" (with Clementine Douglas, number 23), "Think About Us" (with Poppy Baskcomb, number 18 in the UK and Number 1 in New Zealand), "My Loving" (with Chrystal, number 66), and "Let Me Be in Your Arms" (with Libianca, number 64).
