Sony has produced albums, and ran the Shifty Music label at BMG for two years in the mid-1990s. He has also worked as a journalist.
Now based in Cape Town at Milestone Studios, Sony has released more Kalahari Surfers albums, and been involved in art, music and DJ events in the city. He currently works on commercials, film scores and music for theatre.
