Artist Biography
Available in:

Sonos began as a recording project in 2006, composed of then current and former members of the University of California, Los Angeles co-ed a cappella group Awaken A Cappella; the group arranged and recorded several songs. In 2007, the recording project disbanded and former members Christopher Harrison, Jessica Freedman and Paul Peglar recruited friends and colleagues Rachel Bearer, Katharine Hoye and Ben McLain to form Sonos.

In the fall of 2008, the sextet began performing live and incorporating electronic effects pedals. In the summer of 2009, Sonos completed SonoSings, 2009, produced by band member Harrison, as well as Gabriel Mann, and Hugo Vereker. SonosSings comprised covers that dramatically reinvented the original material. Sara Bareilles featured on the cover her own song "Gravity" as a guest vocalist. Sonos signed onto Verve Forecast and released Sonos sings September 15, 2009 and began touring.

In further collaborations, Sonos performed with Sara Bareilles at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles and sang on an Ozomatli remix as part of their Ozomatli vs. KCRW Soundclash EP. Gods & Marionettes, their collaboration with the L.A. Contemporary Dance Company and playwright David Bridel, premiered this past year[when?] in Los Angeles at the Ford Amphitheater and USC's Bovard Auditorium. The piece, which combines the live vocal accompaniment of Sonos with a small group of dancers and a single actor, is a powerful artistic exploration of the concept of fate vs. free will.
In November 2010, Sonos released their second studio album, December Songs, also self-produced. December Songs comprises holiday season classics as well as four original songs: two by Bearer, and one each by Freedman and McLain.

In 2013 the group changed their name to Arora.
