Sony was born Warrick Swinney in Port Elizabeth on 12 September 1958. He grew up in the Cowies Hill area of Durban, attending Westville High School where he played in school-based groups doing covers of songs by Jimi Hendrix and The Who. He was influenced by Indian music and cuisine and by the work of Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart. He learned to play tabla at the Hindu Surat school in Durban. In 1976 he was conscripted into the South African Defence Force, where he declared himself a Hindu pacifist, and was assigned to medical duties and then to band work. During his military service, Sony played B♭ horn, euphonium and drums. He changed his surname from Swinney to Sony to make it harder for the army to get in touch with him for camps; he chose Sony because he liked their products. While Sony was in the army in 1977, his father brought him punk rock albums from an overseas trip. This was his first exposure to Sex Pistols and the Clash.

In 1989 the South African authorities banned the fourth album Bigger Than Jesus, due to concerns about the song “Gutted With The Glory”‘ and the use of the Lord’s Prayer. This album was deemed “abhorrent and hurtful”. A shopper, Mevrou Mulder of Cape Town, was so offended by seeing the record on sale that she organised a petition to the Directorate of Publications. She complained: “The name alone is enough to make any Christian furious, not to mention the words. We as reborn Christians object to the publication of this record and also the distribution of it.” Sony successfully appealed, and the record was unbanned on condition that the name was changed to Beachbomb. Personality magazine said the album “alternates between sheer poetic brilliance and intellectual nonsense.” The first three albums remained banned in South Africa.
