Bonnie has been leading and writing for her World Music Ensemble for over 10 years. Her band commonly known as Reflejos has been made up of may members over the years. 

She writes in Spanish, English and French and has been influenced by many rhythms from Latin America.  Her music is always evolving and her yearning for community through song is forever present. 

Bonnie along with Stefania and Elizabeth,  form the lead singers and composers of the all-female Mariachi group Queen of Hearts.   Recently formed,  Queen of Hearts are from Colombia and Australia playing Mariachi music originating from Mexico.  They also write their original compositions which give the sound a contemporary twist. They break the traditional paradigm being the first all-female Mariachi group in Melbourne. 

Apart from leading her bands,  she has also collaborated with many Musicians round Melbourne from many different traditions creating unique works  all unto their own. Check out her collaboration Alejandro Florez on the video page!
