P.O.D. vocalist Sonny Sandoval will release his new book next February

On February 25th, P.O.D. singer Sonny Sandoval’s new book, “Son Of Southtown: My Life Between Two Worlds,” will be released by Baker Publishing Group. The book, which is currently available for pre-order on Amazon, has the official description listed below.

Born and raised on the streets of Southtown, two exits from the Mexico border, Sonny Sandoval was always going to go his own way. And as frontman of the platinum selling nu metal band P.O.D.–a group too Christian for the world and too secular for the church–he has broken every mold, defied every expectation, and reached into the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of people who wanted to belong to something but never felt like they fit in. Sonny‘s life has been one lived on the edge between two worlds, a line he has attempted to walk with integrity. Raw and uncut, this memoir tells his true story of growing up in the gritty beauty south of San Diego, his early musical influences and big breaks, his rise to fame and many hardships and struggles along the way. From stories of performing in cornfields at the Cornerstone Music Festival to rocking MTV‘s Total Request Live with Carson Daly to playing in New York City just weeks after 9/11, and every unglamorous moment in between, this hard-hitting memoir will have you believing that there’s no one right way to follow God’s call. Instead, Sonny‘s story will inspire you to be totally and uniquely you at all times, without apology and without compromise–but with passion and integrity.

Love+Joy+Peace+Patience+Goodness+Kindness+Gentleness+Faithfulness+Self Control–9 attributes which, in my opinion, describe my friend Sonny Sandoval‘s character precisely. I’m confident that you will agree as you dive into his amazing new book, Son of Southtown: My Life Between Two Worlds. Sonny would shy away from this statement and say he’s not perfect. Obviously true. All of us are beautifully flawed. But Sonny comfortably displays these 9 characteristics more genuinely than most I’ve met in my life. In Son of Southtown you will find that Sonny is always shining in the crazy entertainment business he and I live in, and he shines just as bright in his personal life when the crowds aren’t there to see. A hero of the faith to me since 2005, Sonny Sandoval has been an encouragement to me since day one, and I will love+support this Son of Southtown and everything he does forever.
