The brothers were born into an artistic family in Verona, Italy. Their father was an artistic photographer and bass guitar player in a band, their mother was a singer and their grandfather a violinist, entrusting to the boys an infallible tool. This formation from house materialized in the Academy of Art of Verona.
Luca, being the oldest, was the first to seriously consider music as a career. His decision was the biggest contributing factor that led Diego to eventually take the same path.
At first they were known under the name 2ttO when they sung the theme song of the program 'UFO Baby' and that way they published a single called 'Grido'. At 29 and 25, they change their name to 'Domino' and recorded the song 'Come tu mi vuoi', before releasing their first music video.
In 2007 an English girl in a tour in Venice inspired them to write the song L'amore, which was produced by Roberto Tini. With this one they entered the Sanremo Festival in 2008 (now with the name Sonohra), a contest of Italian music from the city of San Remo in the "giovanni" category and the night of their presentation Sonohra gave a performance as if it was his last spectacle. And before the festival was concluded, the brothers turned out to be crowned “Best artist revelation”, giving place to an explosion of popularity difficult to articulate. On February 29, 2008 their album Liberi da sempre was published, sending Luca and Diego in a gigantic tour along Italy.
After winning in the category Best New Artist on May 15, 2008 in the TRL Awards (2008) in Naples, on the following day their second single,of their debut album, Love Show was launched. Finally, the third single Salvami was published on September 5. The song talks about a good friend that the brothers lost in a traffic accident.
They also won in the categories Best Band and Best New Act in the italian Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards (for which they did the theme song with Love Show changing the lyrics) and in the MTV Europe Music Awards they were named in the category of Best Italian Act.
In November, 2008 their first CD/DVD Live was published with the name Sweet Home Verona. It was carried out on September 6 in the Roman Theater. The songs in this CD/DVD are accompanied only by chordophones and violins. The DVD placed them suddenly in the first place of the Italian DVD-Charts and also between the Top 30 of the Album - market forecast.
On March 17, 2009 Libres was published in Latin America, the version in spanish of the album Liberi da sempre. They made a big effort, since they are only fluent in italian. Recording in Spanish represented a real challenge, forcing them to train and be able to get connected in a vocal and emotional level in a foreign language. The first launched single of the album was Besos Faciles, the version in spanish of the song Love Show with three Bonus Tracks: L'amore (Italian), Io e te(Italian) and Love Show (English). With this album the duet reached the following positions in the lists of Latin America: Costa Rica (#10), Mexico (#25), Argentina (#35) and Chile (#79). For the presentation and promotion of their album they traveled on March 22 to Latin America and gave concerts in almost all the countries (Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, between others).
On May 14 they traveled back home to Italy and received in the TRL Awards 2009 in Trieste (in which they played the version in english of their song Io e te) the award in the category Best Riempipiazza.

Sonohra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I face another day?
I try to turn away
So I can hear them talk no more
All I’m trying to do is hold on strong
But how can I find my way?
Hiding from the world that burned my dreams
I’m falling down!!!
We just can’t afford to pay for all their mistakes
It’s about time that we should be paid off
Still they don’t seem to grow a guilty conscience our lives
They are killing our dreams
And crawling away now
What did they say?
It’s time they stopper these endless lias
I can’t get it right
I never seem to find my way
There must be something wrong
But no one thinks they are to blame
All I’m trying to do is keeping sane
But how can I find my way?
Hunting for the cheat that burned my dreams
I’m falling down!!!
We just can’t afford to pay for all their mistakes
It’s about time that we should be paid off
Still they don’t seem to grow a guilty conscience
The thirst for power makes their evil souls unfold
They are stealing our lives
They are killing our dreams
And crawling away now
Liars.
That did they say?
It’s time they stopped these endless lias
We just can’t afford to pay to all their mistakes
It’s about time that we should be paid off
Still, they don’t seem to grow a guilty conscience
The thirst for power makes their evil souls unfold
They are stealing our lives
They are killing our dreams
And crawling away now
What did they say?
It’s time they stopped these endless lies.
The opening lyrics of Sonohra’s song, “Liars,” immediately express a feeling of intense discomfort, disorientation, and even hopelessness. The singer confesses that they cannot sleep and does not even feel capable of facing another day. They try to shut out the world by turning away so that they do not have to hear the constant stream of lies and deception that surrounds them. The singer’s main goal is to “hold on strong,” but they feel lost and unsure of how to find their way. They are hiding from a world that has not only burned their dreams but also taken them away completely, which has led to a devastating fall.
The song’s message is about the growing frustration that people feel with the seemingly endless lies and deceit that they encounter in their daily lives. The tone is one of anger and disillusionment, as the singer feels that they and others have been robbed of their dreams, their lives, and their ability to survive. The lyrics emphasize the fact that people cannot afford to keep paying for the mistakes of others, who show no signs of remorse or responsibility. Instead, these liars continue to spread their deceit and even to steal the souls of others, all in their unending quest for power. In the end, the singer calls for an end to the lies before it is too late.
