Bonnie Anderson has done it all. She’s got platinum hit-singles like ‘Blackout’ in the catalogue, she won the inaugural season of Australia’s Got Talent, and she’s appeared on television shows like Neighbours and so much more.A lot of time has passed since her introduction to the music industry, and the public eye - and she’s still so young.Things look different in 2026 for Bonnie. She may be a mum of two wonderful boys now, but she still has the kind of voice that can stop you dead in your tracks. And as she reflects on her career in music to date, she knows she hasn’t been able to bring her whole self to music that she believes in: music that represents her, who she is now, and what she’s always loved.What Makes You Think? and Been There, Done It are the first tastes of new music that truly represent the artist that Bonnie has always wanted to be. Soulful, joyous, deep, and resonant. These tracks form the basis of a new album - one that’s been a long time coming.Written over the course of the last decade, the record tracks Bonnie’s life from her lowest points, including returning to singing after surgery on her vocal cords, and finding her way back to herself - and the kind of love she needed. In her own words; “Becoming a mum reignited something in me, and music has come back in a way that’s felt honest… And necessary.”You don’t hear voices like Bonnie’s very often - but when you do, you listen.And for the first time, she’ll get to tell her story her way7pm Angus legg8pm Bonnie Anderson https://youtu.be/aqw9G_dElBohttps://youtu.be/s9PjMnTl-hUhttps://youtu.be/6CtpkYR0vSUhttps://youtu.be/HzyaV0IkaS4

Bonnie Anderson
Bonnie Anderson is a natural-born performer. Having grown up surrounded by musical family and friends, including her mother who is also a singer, Bonnie’s childhood paved the way for her talents as she spent family time playing music and singing. When she wasn’t surrounded by bands and musicians, Bonnie also took inspiration from her Godfather, world champion boxer Lionel Rose. In 2007, Australian audiences fell in love with Bonnie’s incredible talent as the then 12 year-old won first place in Australia’s Got Talent. Rather than get swept up in the media bandwagon and subsequent offers of recording and management contracts, Bonnie made the decision to put her future career on hold and ‘just be a kid for a while’. Bonnie is an incredibly focused performer with professionalism beyond her years, so in pursuit of her ultimate dream to be taken seriously as a singer-songwriter and professional musician, she has chosen to forego an easy fifteen minutes of fame in favour of focusing on the “big picture”. Like any artist, she has learnt her craft by watching the ‘old masters’ at work and has already shared the stage with some of Australia’s greatest acts including Jimmy Barnes, Diesel, Vanessa Amorosi, Kate Ceberano and Kasey Chambers. In addition to her vocal training, Bonnie also plays both piano and guitar. 2009 was a turning point for Bonnie and saw her tour with Australian icon, Jimmy Barnes, as a backing vocalist.
