Sonia Konaté is an accomplished French guitarist, mastering a range of musical genres from Soul and RnB to Pop, Jazz, and Reggae. She currently accompanies renowned artists such as Billy Ocean and the Nu Civilisation Orchestra and has collaborated with Lizzo, Beverly Knight, Soweto Kinch, and Dyo.
Introduced to the guitar at the age of 8, she joined the ETM in Geneva in 2009, benefiting from the teaching of Christophe Godin, and then moved to London to study at the TECH Music School (now BIMM).

Guitar Pro is for me an indispensable tool when it comes to creating supports for my students.
It’s an ultra-complete piece of software that allows me to format the musical content of my online lessons and provide students with clear scores, with the huge advantage of being able to listen to each part at the click of a button!
