The Art of Sonic Curation

We Don’t Just Play Music. We Craft Moments That Echo Forever.

At Sonic Sommelier, we believe that sound is more than just a sense—it’s a signature.

We exist at the intersection of music, emotion, and design. Our work is not to fill silence, but to shape atmospheres, to move guests, and to engrave memories through every carefully selected note.

Each event we touch is a bespoke composition—intentionally curated, meticulously matched to the mood, and tailored with the precision of a fine fragrance or couture ensemble.

Meet the Maestro

Keanna O’Quinn

Founder. Visionary. Sound Curator.

Keanna O’Quinn is not your typical music director. She is a sonic storyteller—a trained vocalist, seasoned musical director, and creative force who’s spent over a decade transforming live performances into soul-stirring experiences.

From performing on global stages to directing music for high-profile events, Keanna saw a blind spot in luxury entertainment:

Sound was treated as background—not as the immersive, emotive tool it truly is.

With that, Sonic Sommelier was born—an answer to the unspoken need for sound design that doesn’t just play to a room… but plays with it.

Today, Keanna leads a team of world-class musicians, curators, and designers—all united by one mission:
To make every event sound like it was meant to be remembered.

Our Approach

Design-first. Emotion-forward. Always personal.

Sonic Sommelier is not a service. It’s a collaboration.
We work closely with our clients to shape every moment—from arrival to encore—through sound.

Our signature process blends:

  • Curated Intelligence – World-class musicianship and deep musical knowledge

  • Experiential Strategy – Syncing sound with space, energy, and flow

  • Sensory Design – Treating sound like scent or texture—another luxury layer

Each event is unique. So is its sound.
