Born in Redditch, Worcestershire, she lived with her father in The Old Hyde farm, Cutnall Green (the location where John Bonham's fantasy sequence was filmed for The Song Remains the Same).

While living on the family's Old Hyde estate, Deborah and her brother John's son, nephew Jason started playing and recording their own songs.

A period of recording for the Japanese Sam Corporation followed, with press and radio promotion including interviews for music publication Burrn!

She performed live on Los Angeles's Rockline syndicated radio show to three million listeners throughout North America.

Bonham has also toured and performed with Van Halen, Alannah Myles, Tim Rose, Uli Jon Roth, Humble Pie, Donovan, Lonnie Donegan, Jools Holland, Foreigner, and Paul Rodgers.
