Bonnie McKee是1984年1月20日在Santa Rosa, California（美国加利福利亚洲圣罗莎）出生的一个屡获殊荣的美国 歌手，词曲作者，和女演员。早在之前 麦琪 邦尼就为很多明星合作了很多冠曲，滚石杂志称她为“秘密武器”。Bonnie参与创作的热单包括Katy Perry的《California Gurls》《Teenage Dream》《Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)》《Wide Awake》《Part of Me》,Britney Spears的《Ooh La La》《Hold It Against Me》以及《Femme Fatale》中的大多数歌曲,Taio Cruz的《Dynamite》,Rita Ora的《How We Do (Party)》,Ke$ha的《C'mon》《Supernatural》,Adam Lambert的《Cuckoo》《Chokehold》…

Bonnie出身音乐世家，她的家人对于她对舞台表演的热爱以及年纪轻轻就自己搬到西雅图加入知名的西雅图女子合唱团（Seattle Girls' Choir）的决定抱以相当支持和鼓励的态度，当Bonnie 12岁时，这位受过古典训练的钢琴神童，同时也是正要振翅高飞的创作新秀自己录了一卷试听带，里头收录了她以自己的方式所诠释的几首流行歌曲，在寄送给一些唱片公司后，获得了不少好评。 Bonnie让人印象深刻的初试啼声使得大部分听过Bonnie试听带的人纷纷表达希望听到她录制自己创作作品的意见，他们一致认为要是Bonnie可以录制一卷自己演唱自己作品的试听带，那么她的成功机率一定会更高。但是眼看就要实现的闯荡流行乐坛的美梦却因为僵化的社会规范以及Bonnie年少轻狂时的叛逆个性而被搁置，因为Bonnie被学校冠上"不当行为"的罪名而被踢出了校园，顿时她成了被退学的中辍少女。 还好命运眷顾了这位在学业上遭受挫折的年轻女孩，她的试听带在被交到Reprise唱片主管手中之后，Bonnie原本阴霾的天空出现了曙光。很快地她就获得为备受欢迎的青少年喜剧片"征服偶像（Win A Date With Tad Hamilton）"演唱插曲"Somebody"的机会─这首歌曲也是Bonnie坚持做自己以及自立自强的宣示之作─，同时也获邀在电视节目"American Dreams"里，饰演年轻时候的传奇女歌手珍妮丝贾普林（Janis Joplin）。 Bonnie的首张专辑“Trouble”收录了12首全部由她自己创作的歌曲，由Bob Power以及Rob Cavallo（年轻岁月合唱团（Green Day）专辑制作人）共同制作。

2013年Bonnie McKee的新单《American Girl》,可能是有史以来出镜名人最多的MV!是恶搞?不,都是本尊!Katy Perry、Ke$ha、Kathy Griffin、Macklemore、Joan Rivers、Karmin、George Takei、Adam Lambert、Carly Rae Jepsen、Jenny McCarthy、KISS、Jason Derulo、Jewel、Tommy Lee、Sirah、Taio Cruz、Jane Lynch等明星纷纷卖萌参演,你绝对不应该错过!它是首极棒的舞池单曲,而且MV非常欢乐,可以让人放松心情尽情玩乐。Bonnie给了其它人那么多好歌,自己也是时候红一下了。

Classically trained pianist, singer/songwriter, and pop rebel Bonnie McKee spent her formative years in California. Growing up in a musical family helped develop her love for the theater and her move to Seattle found the artist singing in the world class Seattle Girl's Choir. At the age of 12, the precocious tunesmith recorded a demo of popular covers. The responses were positive, but all involved agreed McKee would do better writing her own songs, and a new demo featuring original material was cut. After a period of social awkwardness and teenage rebellion that saw the singer kicked out of high school, her songs caught the ear of Reprise records. Recording commenced and the single "Somebody" appeared on the soundtrack to the hit comedy Win a Date With Tad Hamilton. McKee also appeared on the television show American Dreams as a young Janis Joplin. Featuring a dozen self-penned tracks, produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day) and Bob Power, her debut Trouble was released in 2004.
