SOMA (musician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Soma Sutton, known professionally as SOMA, is an Australian alternative hip hop artist, singer, and songwriter from Sydney, Australia. Known for her emotionally raw lyrics, genre-blending sound, and distinctive visual style, SOMA has emerged as a compelling voice in contemporary music. Her work draws on themes of identity, self-empowerment, and transformation, resonating deeply with a growing audience across Australia and beyond. Early Life

SOMA was born and raised in the southern beaches of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, into a culturally rich family of Indian, Portuguese, and Australian heritage. Her multicultural upbringing exposed her to diverse artistic influences, which would later shape her musical style and lyrical perspective. At age 16, she was accepted into the Australian Institute of Music, where she studied contemporary music and performance. It was during this time that SOMA honed her skills in songwriting, production, and stagecraft, laying the foundation for a music career defined by authenticity and creative risk. Career

SOMA released her debut single “Bloom” in 2018 — a self-penned track that introduced her talent for combining soul-baring storytelling with moody, melodic hip hop beats. In 2020, she appeared as a contestant on The Voice Australia, where her performances earned national recognition and opened doors for collaborations and future projects. From 2021 onwards, SOMA released a series of critically noticed singles that built her momentum as an artist unafraid to explore darkness, sensuality, and vulnerability. Her music spans alt hip hop, electronic soul, experimental R&B, and spoken word, often delivered with an edge that reflects both personal and social battles. In 2025, SOMA released her debut full-length mixtape Cobra, produced by Danny Duke. The 11-track project was accompanied by a visually stunning feature-length film, cementing her commitment to storytelling not just through music, but through cinematic art. Cobra was praised for its emotional range and fearless honesty, and marked a breakthrough moment in her career. SOMA has since toured with Grammy-winning artist Macy Gray, played sold-out shows across Australia, and attracted the attention of influential media outlets and management. Her growing catalogue, coupled with her powerful live presence, has established her as one of Australia's most exciting new musical exports. Artistry

SOMA’s artistry is marked by a bold visual identity and an immersive sound that merges emotional depth with sonic innovation. She frequently addresses themes of trauma, desire, mental health, and rebirth. Her work draws comparisons to FKA twigs, Missy Elliott, and 070 Shake, but her voice and style remain distinctly her own. Her live shows are known for their theatrical elements, often incorporating dancers, surreal costumes, and elaborate backdrops. Discography

(The Music Article) Life Without Andy praised her genre-defying creativity: “Channeling Missy Elliott and FKA twigs, SOMA’s Cobra is full of big vocal energy, saucy melodies and sensual grooves.” (Life Without Andy Premiere) Unraveled emphasized the mixtape’s thematic strength: “Cobra explores life, love, loss, self-discovery, letting go, taking control, and learning to stop caring about things that don’t matter.” (Unraveled Edit Review) Streaming and Media Links
