In this episode, we sit down with songwriter and pop powerhouse Bonnie McKee for an in-depth conversation about her incredible journey through the music industry.

We also dive into her personal evolution as a solo artist, tracing the highs and hurdles of her career. Bonnie opens up about reclaiming her artistry with the recent re-recording and release of her long-lost 2013 album, ‘Hot City’, and what it means to finally share that body of work on her own terms.

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at the pop legend behind the hits — and the artist stepping boldly into her own spotlight.
