Bonnie Mckee: Manifesting Your Dream After Hitting Rock Bottom

Subscribe to our audio:

Though we’ve thought about what we want to be when we grow up, we’re not nearly as reflective about who we are now. Marsha sits down with her friend, singer-songwriter Bonnie Mckee to talk about what it meant to manifest her dreams as a teenage pop-star living in Hollywood, and ultimately, becoming one of the biggest co-writers for some of our favorite pop artists to this day- Katy Perry, Brittany Spears, Jason Derulo, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera (the list goes on).
Bonnie explains to Marsha that it wasn’t easy becoming a pop-star at age 16 after all. Shortly after her first album release, Bonnie tells Marsha she was lonely, broke, eventually dropped from her label, and struggled to work through a serious addiction to crystal meth.
Marsha and Bonnie discuss the business of songwriting, and how Bonnie figured out how to rebuild her life after hitting rock bottom. Bonnie also tells the story behind how she met, and eventually co-wrote some of the biggest hits for Katy Perry (“California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Last Friday Night”,and “Roar”).
The two conclude with a discussion on sobriety, and Bonnie shares her new endeavor as a director and actress, in her new short film “April Kills The Vibe.” Bonnie also tells Marsha about her new music dropping in 2023.

Bonnie’s underrated aF!

[@JesseScott2016]

Excited for all the music in 2023!

[@Peterrdee]

Pop music is apparently the hardest to write, so honestly Bonnie is kind of a legend, she’s made some amazing music even her own. She’s unique and original I don’t understand why she never had more intense commercial push

[@marcuschavez5690]

Bonnie deserves the world!

[@Benleyy]

Bonnie Mckee is the most talented woman on the face of the earth. She gave us the world- with all of her AMAZING GEMS OF MUSIC 💎 and she deserved so much more 😭 so much love for her 🏳️‍🌈 she gave me the confidence to know it was okay to be gay while growing up in a Conservative household- when i saw her kiss another girl in her Sleepwalker video 👑 such an iconic song and ive never forgotten about her 👑

[@bbymemo]

[@scottmacconnell592]

Was really hoping for a good Bonnie interview, but it just seemed like she was just there for the host to talk about themselves :(
