Sonia Dada was an American rock, soul, and R&B band, formed in Chicago in 1990. Founding member Daniel Pritzker enlisted Michael Scott, Paris Delane, and Sam Hogan after hearing the latter three sing in a subway station. Sonia Dada became a mainstay of the Chicago musical scene in the years since, incorporating elements of rock, soul, gospel, and funk.
Their 1992 debut album, Sonia Dada, produced a major radio hit, "You Don't Treat Me No Good", and sold more than 100,000 copies. The single "You Don't Treat Me No Good" spent four weeks at number one on the ARIA singles chart and was the third-highest-selling single for the same year, while "You Ain't Thinking (About Me)" was the 40th-highest-selling single. However, they are known primarily as a one-hit wonder in Australia. On the Australian ARIA charts, "You Aint Thinking (About Me)" reached number three.
Since then, Sonia Dada released four studio albums and a live album. Their 2004 release, Test Pattern, was released in a deluxe edition with a bonus DVD containing short films by Jeth Weinrich.
