She was temporarily the lead vocalist for S'Express. She won the 2001 Brit Award for British female solo artist. She is considered to be the most successful female DJ ever.

Sonya Clarke was born and raised in North London. She has credited her later music success from listening to her mothers record collection of mostly R&B artists. The first record she ever purchased was Donna Summer's I Feel Love. When Sonique was 16 her mother remarried and moved back to Trinidad. She refused to move with her mother and two siblings and she stayed behind in England moving into the YMCA. With mounting debt and disgusted by the sexual advances of the hostel warden she moved out and slept on the streets.
