Sunni

Sunni (born Sonja Lynne Millsap) was a female freestyle\dance singer from the early '90s. Not much information is given on this singer and from what I've discovered, she hasn't gotten a lot of mainstream success.

In 1990, Sunni released her self-titled debut album on Alpha International Records. It's unknown how or if the album charted.

The first single, "Why Did My Baby Get Over Me" didn't make the Billboard charts, but a music video was made for the single.

The follow-up singles, "When the Shades Pull Down," "You Could Change My Life," and "Or Lose Me" failed to make the charts at all.

After that, it seemed as if Sunni had faded into obscurity, but according to comments from YouTube, she resides in Dayton, Ohio, singing vocals for various local bands.

Laura Enea

Laura Enea (born on November 16, 1966 in White Plains, New York) was a female freestyle\pop singer from the 90's. She started out singing in Italy and even won the Miss Italia Pageant Talent Competition.
In 1992, she released her self-titled debut album on Next Plateau Records which didn't appear to chart.

Her only charting single was "This is the Last Time" which peaked at #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June of 1992, staying on the chart for 14 weeks & #42 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music\Maxi-Singles Sales chart.

The follow-up single "Our Love" was released, but failed to make any impact on the Billboard music charts at all.

In 1994, Laura released her second and last album to date "Catch Me Now" which didn't generate a lot of success on the Billboard charts.

Her last musical release was the single, "Can We Find a Way" on MicMac Records in 1996. After that, it seems as if Laura faded into obscurity. Nothing has been heard from her since.
