Under her visionary direction, Cilverleaf II has emerged as a formidable force, gaining national recognition and accolades for its innovation, talent development, and cultural impact.
A Dual Force: Entertainment and Media
With the addition of WKIH 100.2 FM “THE MIX” to her portfolio, Grey’s influence now extends seamlessly across both the music and broadcasting industries. Beyond serving as a dynamic entertainment hub, “THE MIX” has a broader mission: it will be leveraged as a vital communications tool in partnership with Louisville’s H.U.D programs and the White House Administration. Through these collaborations, the station will broadcast public service announcements (PSAs) to raise awareness on critical community issues, advocate for underserved populations, and provide a trusted platform for outreach.
This groundbreaking partnership underscores Grey’s commitment to using her media ventures not only to entertain but also to empower. “THE MIX” will embody the intersection of culture, music, and social responsibility, setting a new standard for local radio.
Cilverleaf II: A Rising Industry Powerhouse
Grey’s entertainment company, Cilverleaf II, has earned a reputation for excellence and innovation, quickly establishing itself as one of the most influential independent record labels in the South. Among its notable achievements:
- “Slept on Business of the Year” – Southern Entertainment Awards (2021)
- “Promoter of the Year” and “Honorable Award” – Hood Idol Tour
- Bobby Womack Award for Best New Artist, awarded for the accomplishments of standout performer Voyce Allen
These honors highlight Cilverleaf II’s relentless drive to discover, support, and elevate emerging talent while shaping the future of entertainment.
Currently, the label manages King Jay Da Blountman, a rising star from St. Augustine, Florida. Under Grey’s sharp management and strategic guidance, King Jay is achieving new milestones and positioning himself as a formidable artist in the competitive music industry.
Championing Mental Health Through Music
In addition to her entertainment and media ventures, Sonya Grey is also making a lasting difference through nonprofit leadership. In 2024, she founded Building and Lifting Men (B.A.L.M), a 501(c) organization dedicated to addressing and improving men’s mental health and wellness.
B.A.L.M harnesses the power of music as a therapeutic and transformative tool, offering men an outlet for healing, growth, and empowerment. Grey’s initiative reflects her deep understanding of music’s unique ability to bridge divides, provide comfort, and inspire change. By prioritizing mental health, B.A.L.M brings visibility to an often-overlooked issue and provides men with resources and community support.
