Lou Bonnevie

By the time her family moved to Manila in the 1980s, she was ready to perform professionally in small clubs and hotels as she continued her secondary and college studies.

Bonnevie has had hundreds of live shows, performing with the top Filipino artists and backed up by seasoned musicians both from the mainstream and alternative scenes.

Music has taken her all over the Philippines and abroad – She has toured with Gary Valenciano in the US and has done her own major shows in the Middle East (Bahrain, Dubai and Al-ain), Singapore and Japan.

In the 1980s Bonnevie endorsed 7-up's version of "7up the difference is clear" with Kim Cranes' worldwide hit "Bette Davis Eyes" tune.

The album showcased Bonnevie’s raw energy and idealism and was presented with 4 and ½ stars by the publication, The Foreign Post.

“Simpleng Babae”, the novelty honky tonk song Bonnevie wrote instantly became a hit and earned her “Best Female Solo Rock Performance” by KATHA Awards.

She began producing and performing in annual “Pinoy Summer Festivals” around the Philippines: Boracay, Puerto Galera, Tagaytay, Dumaguete, Bicol and parts of Mindanao.

The music spawned diversified influences including ethnic and world leanings that borders from pop-to rock-to folk in the contemporary setting.
