Editor's note

Bonnie McKee writes pop hits and her own dance tracks

A songwriter for Katy Perry and others who also makes her own dance-pop records.

For her own sound, start with 'American Girl' from 'Bombastic.' To hear her writing in its raw form, the 'Gasoline' demo is worth a listen.

She wrote for Katy Perry, Kesha, and Rihanna during their biggest chart years, helping shape that era's pop sound. Her own songs like 'American Girl' and 'Wasted Youth' from the 'Bombastic' album show a different side, more dance-floor ready and personal. The Britney Spears demo 'Gasoline' gives a glimpse into how her writing works before it reaches a star's voice.

She moved to Los Angeles in 2004 and started writing for other artists. In 2015 she released her debut solo album 'Bombastic,' then put out an acoustic EP that same year and followed with 'Glamorous' in 2020.

Archive material and source history

Bonnie McKee grew up in Vacaville, California and moved to Los Angeles in 2004. She started writing songs for other artists, working with Katy Perry, Kesha, and Rihanna on some of their hits.

In 2015 she released her debut solo album 'Bombastic,' which included the title track and songs like 'American Girl' and 'Wasted Youth.' The album had a dance-pop sound that felt different from the material she'd written for others.

She put out an acoustic EP that same year and followed with 'Glamorous' in 2020. Her writing tends toward catchy melodies and direct lyrics, whether on her own records or the ones she's contributed to for other pop artists.
