Timeline
Bonnie Leigh McKee (born January 20, 1984) is an American singer and songwriter.
She recorded two albums with the choir, titled Jackson Berkey Meets The Seattle Girls' Choir and Cantate 2000.
She briefly attended The Bush School during her freshman year of high school, where she recorded a demo album with other student musicians as part of an experiential class project with The President’s musician Dave Dederer, an alumnus and former English teacher at the school; unrelatedly, she was kicked out soon afterward.
Poneman was intrigued by her songwriting talents.
According to McKee, this was the moment when she realized she had to be "more than just a singer."
She knew she had to be a songwriter as well.
McKee wrote songs and performed in the Seattle area when she was 15.
Her demo tape which was raw got to Colin Filkow, an ex-Priority Records label executive.
Filkow recognized that she was a rare talent and signed her to his management company, Platinum Partners Artist Management in Beverly Hills.
He flew her to Los Angeles and welcomed her into his family; she was only 17 at the time.
He inspired her to sing and write songs and to trust her instincts.
Filkow took Bonnie's demo to dozens of labels, publishers, agents, and entertainment lawyers.
After more than a year, Filkow signed Bonnie to Warner Brothers Records in one of the most lucrative signings ever for a new artist.
Her debut album, Trouble, was released in 2004 by Reprise Records.
After underperforming McKee was dropped by her label and took a musical hiatus before establishing herself as a songwriter.
She has written 10 singles that have reached number one in either the United States or the United Kingdom, which have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide combined.
Her debut album Trouble was recorded across a period of two years by producers Bob Power and Rob Cavallo, and commercially released on September 28, 2004.
Reprise was unsure on how to sell McKee, so the label settled a partnership with internet radio website LAUNCHcast, which would promote the lead single "Somebody".
"Somebody" soon became one of the most played tracks on the website, and its popularity with young females led to a strategy where McKee would be a subversive alternative to the teen pop demographic.
"Somebody" was performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, included in the motion picture Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!, and had a music video featured on MTV's Buzzworthy and VH1's You Oughta Know.
Trouble received positive reviews in Blender, Nylon, The Los Angeles Times, and Teen People, but was commercially unsuccessful.
McKee spoke about the album being unsuccessful, saying, "It was devastating when the album didn't happen," she said.
"I realized there are so many steps from getting a deal to having a hit... and I didn't get there. It was a huge letdown."
McKee began work on a second studio album which never came to existence.
According to McKee, she "downward-spiraled" and began to abuse crystal meth, an addiction with which she struggled for several years.
She was dropped from the label after defacing the CEO's car with lipstick during the middle of the night.
Following her release from Reprise Records, McKee managed to get a job at Pulse Recordings' publishing arm, Check Your Pulse, through her boyfriend and longtime collaborator, Oliver "Oligee" Goldstein.
She lived in poverty, without hot water, a cell phone, or a car while spending many hours in the recording studio, learning how to use Pro Tools and crafting new songs alongside Elliott Yamin and Leighton Meester.
In 2009, McKee was introduced to music producer Dr. Luke by her manager Josh Abraham.
Dr. Luke had collaborated with McKee's longtime friend Katy Perry on her second album One of the Boys.
In 2013, McKee made a return to music with many singles, including "American Girl".
She independently released an EP, Bombastic (2015).
McKee is particularly known for collaborating with pop singer Katy Perry.
The duo wrote the hits "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", "Part of Me", "Wide Awake", and "Roar".
McKee also co-wrote "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz, which became the second-best-selling song by a British artist in the digital era.
McKee co-wrote other hits including "Hold It Against Me" by Britney Spears and "C'Mon" by Kesha; she has written for Cher, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, and Adam Lambert.
McKee also has collaborated with Canadian acapella singer Mike Tompkins.
McKee was born in Vacaville, California, and raised in Seattle.
She studied classical piano and became a member of the Seattle Girls Choir Prime Voci at age 12; she toured with the choir throughout North America and Europe.
