He began playing the piano, guitar, and trumpet at a very young age."Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember," Sonni stated in a previous interview on the Dire Straits site. My mother was a pianist, and my father was always listening to Frank Sinatra, early rock n' roll, and country music. My grandparents also enjoyed listening to music.
The late musician claimed that after he first took up a guitar when he was eight years old, he "never put it down."
"I started playing in front of people right away — in church, then coffeehouses, and then in bands playing school dances," recounted Sonni. "I played in front of people in church, then coffeehouses, and then in bands playing school dances." "After completing one year of college, I decided to enroll in music school instead. After I had my diploma, I became a member of a local band and performed six nights a week on the club circuit, playing a variety of music ranging from jazz standards to Top 40 singles.
When Sonni first arrived in New York City in the late 1970s, he began working at Rudy's Music Stop. It was there that he became acquainted with David and Mark Knopfler, who would go on to create Dire Straits.
In 1984, the band recruited Sonni to play guitar synthesizer on a track called "The Man's Too Strong" for their fifth studio album, titled "Brothers in Arms."
Sonni made his first performance with the band over a year later, during the world tour that Dire Straits did from 1985 to 1986.
In 1988, the rock singer decided to leave the band Dire Straits in order to "get a day job in marketing and advertising" and to "focus on raising my twin daughters."
