Sonya Isaacs (born July 22, 1974) is a bluegrass/southern gospel and country music singer, musician, and songwriter.
Isaacs grew up near Morrow, Ohio, and graduated from Little Miami High School in 1992. She and several of her family members make up the gospel music band called The Isaacs. They can be seen on most of the Gaither Homecoming videos.
To date, she has released one album on Lyric Street Records, and has charted five singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. She parted ways with Lyric Street in 2004. Sonya recorded the song "The Battlefield" for the soundtrack to the 2006 film Broken Bridges. She and Vince Gill contributed guest vocals to a cover of "Misty" on Cledus T. Judd's 2007 tribute album Boogity, Boogity — A Tribute to the Comedic Genius of Ray Stevens.
For Sonya Isaacs, her ultimate reason for wanting a solo career in secular music comes down to her outlook on life. "I realize life is short," she says. "That's why I sometimes wear a little hourglass on a chain around my neck. It reminds me that life is short and you can only have an impact on so many people each day. This is an opportunity for me to reach so many people with my music. I feel that opportunity has just knocked on my door and I've opened it."
"If Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt had a daughter, she would sound just like Sonya." - Dolly Parton
