At 20 years old, Boonie Kemplay certainly gets into the limelight after winning BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge Introducing talent search. She was one of the 10,000 entries from some of the UK’s very best undiscovered and under-the-radar musicians.
Bonnie performed in Radio 1’s Live Lounge in 2021, joining Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and Stormzy in the Live Lounge history books.
Bonnie is a current student at the Royal Northern College of Music. She began nurturing her love of performing aged just 11 when she joined a community music club who supported her to explore different instruments and build her confidence. Now aged 19, she has received support from BBC Music Introducing in Scotland for her self-described brand of ‘indie sadcore’, and counts artists such as Soccer Mommy, Julien Baker and Clairo among her inspirations.
