Sanovia is incredible!

Sanovia recently performed at our home for my 50th birthday party! She is a powerful and galvanizing force with the most welcoming and inclusive presence. She has a terrific soulful voice that fills the whole space with passion and energy. Sanovia truly made my birthday special! I am forever grateful for the joy (and dancing!) I was able to experience with my friends and family because of Sanovia's incredible performance. Leading up to the event, Sanovia was very generous, asking for my wishlist of songs, and she did a great job communicating. In fact, she even arrived early before my party started to set up, just so she wouldn't disrupt the party. Sanovia is a gem of a person and a truly gifted performer. I most highly recommend her for any event!!!

Headliner Juneteenth

Her voice carries so much soul—you can feel every word she sings. She blends R&B, soul, and gospel in a way that just hits different—uplifting and smooth at the same time. You can tell she’s not just singing, she’s ministering through her gift. That kind of voice comes from a place of truth and experience. Whether it's something soft and heartfelt or taking us to church, she leaves an impact. A true inspiration and blessing to listen to.

Sanovia reminded us why Live Music matters

Sanovia came on stage and changed the energy of the room. Her voice was beautiful and honest. The way she shared pieces of herself between songs drew everyone closer. One of those nights that reminded us why we started Germantown Art & Sound.

Sanovia was a Phenomenal performer and drew a great crowd

At the County Jawn we focus on building with likeminded artists to create a mutually beneficial experiences. Sanovia was consistently professional and timely. She was easy to work with and her energy on and off stage was amazing. In addition to an incredible performance, Sanovia also promoted well and drew a sizable crowd. She is a can’t miss talent that we have booked multiple times.
