Mihai Razvan Preda[1] better known by his stage name Sonny Flame (born in Ploiesti, Romania on 30 September 1986) is a reggae, dance hall, and R&B Romanian singer. He is signed by Red Clover Media.

Career

He started to write lyrics and composing rap and R&B style songs at age 15, after having lost his mother at 12. His father continued encouraging him in the arts. After suggestions from a friend, he started developing into reggae/dance hall tunes dubbed by friends as "Shaggy de Moldova". At 19, he moved from Ploiești to Hîncești for better opportunities.

In 2006 he finished his first album-length demo, together with producer F.Charm. He collaborated very early on with Romanian artist Wassabi in "Lonely Girl". He also collaborated with well-known names like Connect-R in "Summer Days", DJ Chris Mayer in "Confused" and Mossano in "Indianotech".[1][2]

This culminated in signing with Red Clover, a young Romanian label where F.Charm is A&R Manager. His first official single on Red Clover was "Top of the World" with DJ Chris Mayer. It was licensed through ToCo International and released in France, Sweden, Denmark, Norwege, Netherlands, Russia as well.[2] The single reached #3 on Romanian Vibe FM charts.[3] His next single "Jump Up" with Romanian DJ Dark proved a commercial success and figured in the top hits of Romania in 2010.

He was featured in Morris hit "Havana Lover".[4] In 2011, he was the opening act for Ja Rule in his tour in Romania.[5] In 2012 he had a hit with "Sole el sol" which enjoys huge popularity in night clubs and online. It is also Sonny Flame's first Spanish language hit.[6]
