Bonnie Pink

Bonnie Pink happens to be among Japan’s strongest woman rock singer/songwriters inside a country as yet not known for any such thing. Blessed with an enthusiastic hearing for melody and a tone of voice that suggestions at Suzanne Vega, Chrissy Hynde, and Alanis Morissette but eventually remains her personal, Bonnie Pink has truly gone to attract world-wide acclaim as well as the interest of suppliers including Tore Johhansen (the Cardigans) and Mitchell Froom (Suzanne Vega). Given birth to in Kyoto, Japan, she snagged her 1st recording agreement while still going to college. Implementing her stage name Bonnie Red to complement her electric red Beatle-cut hair also to provide a nod towards the Traditional western artists who affected her, she released her 1st mini recording, Blue Jam, in 1995 on Pony Canyon, made up of eight slashes of ’70s-tinged soulful rock and roll. It was plenty of to attract the interest of Tore Johhanson, who brought her to Sweden to record her discovery debut, Heaven’s Kitchen, in 1997, which led to three high-charting singles. Her recognition garnered her an area on japan edition of George Martin’s ill-fated IN MY OWN Life album, performing “Blackbird.” Bad and Flowers made an appearance in 1998, her last recording for Pony Canyon (two best-of compilations, Bonnie’s Kitchen number 1 and number 2, soon adopted). Switching to Warner Bros. subsidiary East Western, she 1st released an individual “Sleeping Kid” that presented remixes by Stereolab as well as the Large Llamas, then adopted up with an recording RELEASE in 2000. She’s yet to discover Traditional western distribution, but certainly offers paid her dues to deserve it.
