Information

BONNIE PINK first appeared on the scene in 1995, though her debut album, Blue Jam failed to gain her much notice. She was discovered while singing at her university music festival. After meeting The Cardigans producer Tore Johansson, with whom she recorded her next two albums, she released Heaven's Kitchen two years later, an album which gained her good sales and recognition. To date she has released ten albums, as well as several best albums in addition to a remix album. She has also sung the ending theme for the Japanese animation series Rurouni Kenshin, and GANTZ. She sings in English with reasonable skill in addition to her native Japanese.
