Sonja Katharina Mross is a German jazz singer who is completely in love with traditional jazz. Influenced by Fred Astair's films, she has encountered swing all over the world. She sang in bars, clubs, concert halls and on the street in Berlin, Montpellier, New York and Perugia, among other places, and finally studied jazz singing at the renowned Cologne University of Music and Dance.
She has been dancing Lindy Hop, Balboa and Blues with great enthusiasm for several years. For the concerts of her band "Sonjas Swing Thing", she chooses the pieces to which she herself prefers to dance. The arrangements are crisp and to the point, the groove driving, the joy of the musicians infectious. Sonja and her band celebrate the music she loves so much, the dance that gives so much vitality, and life itself. "Nothing thrills me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek
