Timeline

1974

Bonny B. (born Su Pheaktra Bonnyface Chanmongkhon, July 20, 1974, Cambodia) is a Cambodian-Swiss blues musician and harmonica player.

1978

In 1978, his family fled Cambodia, pursued by the Khmer Rouge, and took refuge in the jungle near the Thai border.

After three days and three nights running, with no food, they finally found safety in Thailand.

1979

In 1979, with the help of Catholic sisters, the family arrived in Fribourg, Switzerland, and asked for political asylum.

1980

He started school in 1980 and fought to be accepted and to find a place in the community.

1988

From 1988 to 1991, when he was in high school, he started to like the harmonica and country music: "this time I copied and listened to many country CDs."

The school organized a day of entertainment and "hired two bluesmen including one playing the harmonica and the blues came like that. My first CDs were by John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters and Little Walter, Jimmy Reed, Otis Rush, and all the old black bluesmen of the 50s."

1992

He left school and from 1992 to 1995 trained in making pastries and candy, an activity that allowed him to support himself, but music was playing an increasingly important role in his life.

In 1992 he formed his first band, Bonny B. and Spirit of the Blues.

They played their first gig two months after they met.

1994

Then followed Born to Blues in 1994, the Bonny B. Blues Band in 1996 and the Bonny B. Band in 1998.

On the side, he also played in a duo with his brother Michael on guitar.

He was also engaged as a sideman with Tom Cat Blake, JC Little and Kevin Flynn, among others.

In 1994 he opened a school for harmonica and singing.

1998

In May 1998, Bonny decided to go to Chicago in search of the blues: "I had to travel there as a pilgrimage."

Speaking almost no English, he jammed with Louisiana Red, Buddy Guy, Jimmy Johnson, Kenny Neal, John Primer and Bernard Allison at clubs such as the legendary Blue Chicago, Buddy Guy's Legend and KoKo Taylor's. Short of money, he played in bars and on the streets of Chicago to pay for his return ticket.

1999

In 1999, Bonny decided to record an album.

He teamed up with his old friend, drummer Sal Lombardo, and guitarist Laurent Poget.
