The creator/director and nucleus of this atomic kookiness, Mr. Moon (often disguised as Joel Hile) is the voice of the outfit. A military brat born in London and developed elsewhere, Sonny has alternated between stage, screen and music projects, from occasional stuntwork and playing leads in local theatre and cult film faves to blues/rock bands. He's tried his hand at several endeavors, including writing scripts that he swears are in a box somewhere. Oh, and he does a pretty good Sinatra.

His penchant for classic rock and classic jazz and big band, including all the spy soundtracks and crime jazz from the 50s and 60s, along with the similar, diverse influences of the rather eclectic mind of his counterpart, Guy Wonder, is what fuels the Nutty sound.

Look for the cat with the swagger and the scat, and you've found Sonny. His favorite nut? His left one.
