Sonia Erika (they) is the daughter of formerly undocumented laborers. After 21 years as an “illegal alien” Sonia finally reunited with her family in Mexico. Since then they have continued their music migration project with Death Is A Business in Peru and Brazil. Sonia’s art and entrepreneurial activity connects people and communities to their story of familial migration, the experience of rebirth, and belonging. Their subject matters verge between illegal aliens and demystifying capitalism, to humanizing sex workers.

Coach Steph is a first-gen entrepreneur and life coach that works with immigrants and first-gen entrepreneurs to overcome the obstacles that hold them back from reaching their goals.

Death Is A Business From America to Mexico to Peru travels the nomadic band Death Is A Business. It’s hard to call our group a singular band since the lineup frequently changes. It can’t be helped however, as we experiment with genres from around the world. The group’s sound incorporates musicians and instruments from around the world like the Afro-Peruvian cajon and the Andean flute. Ultimately we want to create beautiful powerful music and bridge cultural gaps.
