About DJ Sona
Built on Two Continents.
Perfected on the Dance Floor.
Jude Martin, known as DJ Sona, is an Austin-based DJ specializing in high-energy, open-format sets designed to create unforgettable moments on the dance floor. Raised in England and shaped by time in both the UK and California, his sound draws from a broad musical foundation — blending EDM influences like D&B, UK Garage, and House with Pop, Hip-Hop, Throwbacks, Country, and Contemporary Hits to connect with any audience.
Educated at Eton College where he studied music technology and theatre, Jude brings both technical precision and creative instinct to every performance. His approach is rooted in adaptability — reading the room in real time and crafting a set that feels dynamic, seamless, and fully energized from start to finish.
Beyond Austin's 6th Street venues, Jude has performed at international events including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and London's Notting Hill Festival — and has independently produced and hosted his own large-scale events, developing a deep understanding of crowd psychology, energy flow, and execution.
High-energy, genre-blending sets. Packed dance floors. Unforgettable moments.

Not Just a DJ — A Full Experience
Jude's background in music technology, theatre, and international performance gives him a rare combination of technical skill, stage instinct, and crowd intuition that most DJs simply don't have.
Crowd-First Philosophy
Every set is built around the room — not a pre-set playlist. Jude reads energy in real time and adjusts to keep the floor moving all night.
Technical Precision
Formally trained in music technology, his mixes are seamless, polished, and deliberately crafted — no sloppy transitions, no dead air.
Theatre-Trained MC
With an extensive background as a stage actor, Jude commands the mic with natural confidence — guiding events and elevating key moments.
True Open Format
D&B to Country. UK Garage to Hip-Hop. Throwbacks to Top 40. Jude doesn't stay in one lane — he plays whatever the moment demands.
International Perspective
Having performed across the UK, California, and now Texas, Jude brings a global musical sensibility that resonates with any audience.
Event Production Mind
Having self-produced his own large-scale events, he understands how energy, timing, and execution work together — from the DJ booth to the full event floor.
