Bonnie Leigh McKee (born January 20, 1984)[1] is an American singer-songwriter, formerly signed to Reprise Records[2]. Accomplished rock music columnist Jaan Uhelszki has said that McKee "elevates post-teen rebellion and broken romance to high art."[3]. McKee was born in Vacaville, California, and spent her formative years in the Seattle area. Taking an early interest in the exposure to music and the theater offered by her father, Bonnie began singing at age five with the Seattle Girls' Choir. She toured Europe in 2000 as a member of its top Prime Voci choir, including a concert in Rome at the request of Pope John Paul II.
