Sonia Mohammed-Chérif is an emerging composer, writer, performer (piano and voice), and vocal coach. In 2024, she composed her first original score for screen with PARENTS À PERPÉTUITÉ, a moving TV drama directed by Safy Nebbou for France 2. For this intimate and emotional story, she imagined a delicate, cello- and piano-based score that reflects the quiet intensity of a broken family.

 

Her musical world is rooted in a sense of introspection and emotion, often moving between dreamlike textures, gentle melancholy, and suspended time. While drawn to acoustic timbres and organic textures, she also explores more hybrid soundscapes, weaving classical instruments with subtle electronic elements.

​

In 2025, she collaborated with Ibrahim Maalouf on co-composing the original score for the feature film FILS DE PERSONNE, directed by Safy Nebbou, a production by Mandarin & Cie and Playtime, distributed by Sony Pictures.

​

She has just finished composing the music for the series OUR MISSING SONS, also directed by Safy Nebbou for France 2 and HBO Max. Produced by Studio 14 Films, the series won the Best Drama Series award at the La Rochelle Fiction Festival in 2026.

​

With a Master’s degree in Film from the Sorbonne, Sonia was trained in both directing and the technical aspects of audiovisual production. She has directed two short films, broadcast on France 3 and Ciné+, and also holds a BTS in Sound Engineering. This double perspective—visual and sonic—nourishes her musical approach, always in the service of storytelling.

 

Sonia is now beginning a new chapter as a composer for film and contemporary projects, guided by a deep love for music, voice, and the art of emotion.
She is currently working on her first album of songs in French, English, and Arabic, titled REBIRTH...
