Born on June 21, 1965, in Crouch End, London, Sonique was exposed to the vibrant sounds of Trinidadian culture through her parents.

This independence and determination would later define her music career.
After SExpress disbanded, Sonique began experimenting with turntables and mixing, a gift from Mark Moore. She accompanied Moore and Judge Jules to their gigs, learning the art of DJing and eventually creating her own unique sound.
