I am Sonny Bride, the Barry White lookalike. I was crazy about music at a young age! In Curacao, parties are often celebrated with Salsa and other Latin American music, including my family. We all sang together under a tree, and everyone was proud of my singing talent. I also sang in the children's choir of the local church. When I grew up, I discovered the soul. At the time I was a big fan of Lionel Richie, I knew all of his songs by heart. In 1985 I came to the Netherlands for my studies and until 2005 I worked as a plasterer. In my spare time I regularly sang soul covers at parties of friends and family. In 2005 I established my own company in security. I met a lot of people and I heard more and more that I looked like Barry White! I did not do anything with that anymore, but I went to listen to his music a bit more often. Until a certain carnival day in Eindhoven, in 2009. During my work as a bouncer at the Irish pub O'Sheas, the barmaid came to pick me up at the door. I thought there were problems, and I came in with an attitude of: ok, who should I throw out? Then suddenly I got a microphone pushed in my hands from the manager of the pub. He recorded the song of Barry White 'My First My Last' ... and I started to sing. That was the very first time that I sang a song by Barry. The people liked it, I immediately had a few fans! Afterwards someone from the audience came to me and offered to help me to become the Dutch Barry White lookalike. I took singing lessons and I studied artist Barry White extensively. My first official appearance as Barry White lookalike was at a fellow party garden party. I found it scary, but it still tasted like more! Soon more gigs followed, and my first big gig was in 2012 in Paradiso in Amsterdam. I still follow singing lessons and I always strive to improve myself over and over again. Meanwhile, I perform weekly at home and abroad and I hope that I can do this work for a long time!
