Sonja was born and reared in Detroit, Michigan. She is a graduate of the University of Michigan, and was a series regular on three major television series and in over 22 commercials.

     Sonja Dunson, producer, actress, writer, former beauty queen, publisher and speech pathologist, introduced as the female Spike Lee, became the first in history of two producers to receive financing of her motion picture "You Can't Buy Love" from the Small Business Administration. Sonja says, "Anyone who is in love, ever been in love or looking for love has to buy her soundtrack album 'You Can't Buy Love.'"

     Her big break came when the SBA decided to underwrite her movie project. Sonja diligently submitted her movie project and met all of the requirements and in less than a month, she was approved to film an interracial love story she had written entitled "You Can't Buy Love." Sonja is the Executive Producer, Producer, co-star, co-casting director, location director and she co-wrote the title song in the movie with Kris Lamans "So Much Feeling In Your Love." During the day Sonja is a speech pathologist for the Los Angeles School System and during the evening, she produced and acted in her movie.

      People in the music business have convinced Sonja that she is a strong contender for the Grammy's and the Academy Awards nomination for "So Much Feeling In Your Love."
