Biography
Zesty, high energy, sexy, stylish-no, it's not the latest trendy nightclub; it's actress/writer/producer Sonia Lozada. Ms. Lozada is a diversely creative, witty Latina. She has been described by casting directors as a cross between Mae West and Rita Moreno.
Sonia was born in Chicago, IL, the daughter of hard-working Puerto Rican parents. They were strong people, who drilled into her head: never lose your integrity, stay committed to your dreams, and always have a sense of humor about it. Sonia was an entertainer from a very early age dancing, singing, and telling funny stories. When she could fool her mom by a particularly good show of emotion, she knew she could succeed as an actress.
Sonia moved to Los Angeles, where she got her headshots and started hustling. Since then, Sonia has appeared as an actress on films including Expired with Samantha Morton & Jason Patric, Harsh Times with Christian Bale, Eva Longoria and Freddy Rodriquez, Hollywood Homicide with Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett and television shows including The Unit, Desperate Housewives, Las Vegas, NYPD Blue, ER, and The George Lopez. Sonia can be funny or serious.
Sonia's love of music is evident. She has gained access to interview, video, and photograph many famous bands, including Ozomatli, eighties legends Echo & the Bunnymen, The Clash, and John Lydon of the Sex Pistols. Sonia published a popular fanzine LOZT distributed in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle. Sonia graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor of Arts in Ethnomusicology. While at UCLA, she published an ethnomusicology magazine called Cielo.
Between acting gigs, Sonia expresses herself through creative writing. She has written a wide variety of short stories and scripts. She is looking to produce a feature film she co-authored, Coffee and Milk, a comedy about contemporary Latin females and their pursuit of an ideal man.
