Sonyae Taraji Johnson (born May 4th, 1988) is an American singer-songwriter, dancer, choreographer, and a model that was born in Queens, New York. Sonyae is the eldest daughter of Calvin Johnson, Sonyae's manager, and Rita Johnson, a professional fashion designer and hair stylist. Johnson's father is of West Indian (Caribbean) and African ancestry. Her mother, Rita Johnson, has French, Portuguese, and Native American ancestry.

At the age of 7, Sonyae began attending an expensive private school and whilst there, enrolled in dance and music classes, learning to play the piano, harmonica, and the saxophone. She also enrolled in ballet classes and perfected in that specific skill. Her ballet and dancing abilities gained her a role in 'Radio City Christmas Spectacular', a Christmas show on Broadway, in 1996 when she was the age of 8. During her time being enrolled in the private school , Johnson had grown an interest in singing, and had quit her music classes in order to have more 'time' to enroll in a chorus class. Eventually, Johnson's passion for singing persuaded her to have her mind set on becoming a professional singer.
When Johnson first told her parents about wanting to become a singer when she got older, they didn't really take her too seriously. In fact, they believed that she would have changed her mind in the long run. Everyone's point of views changed when her father, Calvin, heard her singing a high-pitch note to a song. From then on, her father believed that with the proper guidance and platform, he could push Sonyae into making her dreams of becoming a professional singer come to life. Eventually, she began taking professional singing lessons/classes.

In 2000, at the age of 12, Johnson made her first performance at a local talent show to an audience of 80 people. Although this may seem like nothing compared to the audience of regular concerts, this was a lot for the 12-year old Johnson. When she got up on the stage, she suffered from a severe stage fright and ran off the stage, running backstage back to her family, who were present at the event. That was the last time she ran off the stage, and has since performed at over 16 talent shows from late-2000 through 2005, winning 12 out of the 16 and being placed in either second or third place in the others.

At the age of 16 in 2004, after years of chasing after her dream career in singing, she finally got a chance at getting signed to a major record label, after getting contacted by Def Jam Music Group. However, the label executives for the label was not satisfied with Johnson's style and decided not to sign her. The same happened when she was approached by executives of Columbia Records. After all of this, Johnson had lost faith that she'd become an R&B superstar. Fortunate enough, her sister Marie persuaded her to continue working on her music career.

Fast forward to the end of 2010, after years of hard work in vocal training and choreography, Sonyae's name had finally began to spread throughout the urban community - and all throughout 2011 and early 2012, she has uploaded covers and demos on Youtube and has garnered a staggering 22 million views in total if you add up all the views from the 24 videos she uploaded. Sonyae is currently unsigned, but has been working on her debut album!
