Originally started as a solo project as Sonny Dai, Burn Sonny Dai Burn transformed into a full-fledged band in March 2024 when Calvin joined as bassist. While John handles the songwriting and audio engineering, Calvin has played a vital role in evolving Burn Sonny Dai Burn’s sound and solidifying the group’s identity. "Burn Sonny Dai Burn wouldn’t be able to fully exist without Calvin," says John. "What started as a personal outlet has grown into something much larger, thanks to his contributions." Calvin has recently begun co-writing bass lines as well, earning writing credits from herein.
The band’s music is deeply rooted in personal experiences — a life shaped by isolation, mental health struggles, addiction, and turbulent relationships. These themes laid the foundation for the project’s earlier releases, which served as a catharsis for John’s grief, codependency, and self-doubt. In their first year as a full fledged band, both John and Calvin started opening up to each other, and have shared very similar experiences involving grief, toxic romantic relationships, as well as self-hatred.
