thirteen tracks of Trouble before she was

five, Bonnie joined the acclaimed Girl's
Choir in her hometown of Seattle, an
invaluable musical apprenticeship
augmented by such seminal influences as
the evocative songwriting of Carol King
and the pure pop pageantry of Michael
Jackson. Her first forays into composing
began by age twelve, which also marks her
first appearances on Seattle's open mike
club scene, where she quickly earned
veteran status. Perfecting her performance
skills with intensive voice lessons,
Bonnie single-handedly put together her
first demo as part of a junior high school
project, enlisting fellow students to
serve as her back-up band. It was
an accomplishment that set the stage for a
subsequent six-song EP, written, performed
and produced by the sixteen-year
old. Bonnie
McKee quickly landed a major recording
contract with Reprise Records. Relocating
to Los Angeles she immediately began work
on the album that would become Trouble and
include re-cut versions of all six songs
from her EP. Shortly
afterwards, Bonnie scored a creative coup
when she was chosen to portray legendary
singer Janis Joplin on the
critically-acclaimed NBC-TV dramatic
series, American Dreams. She made her
national broadcast acting debut in a
speaking role as the pioneering female
rocker. |
