“There’s a revolution going on in Atlanta. SONEN, along with a few others, are dragging it out into the light.” - BoomBoomChick
SONEN, the Atlanta, GA electro-pop duo made up of Keith Evans and Holly Mullinax, make music you wouldn’t expect to come from a city known for Hip Hop and Garage Rock.  Yet ATL has a rich underground music and art scene that is both inspiring and exciting, and it’s in that creative incubator that SONEN came to be. The group’s deeply resonant bass lines, vintage tinged strings and harmonious male-female vocals come together to form a seductive, compelling sound that will consume listeners entirely and leave them sweaty and satisfied.  
SONEN has shared the stage with artists such as Diplo, STRFKR, Flying Lotus, Dam Funk, and Casio Kids; developing a reputation for, as The Big Beat so astutely observed, “turning the kids into a sweaty mess”.  
Keith Evans (guitar, bass, synth, vocals) was born in Long Island, NY and was raised in Atlanta, GA. He discovered electronic music in his teens and purchased his first synthesizer at 21, a Yamaha cs1x which he still owns it and uses in the studio. A musical collector, he has a passion for vintage analog synthesizers; yet he also DJs in ATL and while on tour with SONEN.
Holly Mullinax (synth, vocals) was born and raised in Atlanta, GA and is a classically trained pianist and singer. She grew up in a musical family; regular gatherings at home involved singing and playing with other family members. She had an early love of electronic music and combines her love of performing with her love of dance music in SONEN.
The band won Creative Loafing's “Best Electronic Act of Atlanta” award from Critics and Readers in 2010 and 2011. They have been described by Frequency Magazine as “self-serious but danceable, polished but organic, SONEN’s sound is made up of all the right choices; Joy Division-esque post punk borrowed previously by Interpol mixes with something like the electro-pop bliss of The Postal Service to give the band a sonic identity all its own.”
