Deborah Bonham: Biography of a Rock and Blues Singer

Deborah Bonham, an English rock and blues singer, is best known as the sister of John Bonham, the legendary drummer of the band 'Led Zeppelin'. She was born in 1962 in Redditch, Worcestershire, England. Growing up under the influence of the music of 'Led Zeppelin', her older brother's band, Deborah developed a passion for music at a young age.

At the age of six, Deborah recorded her first demos in the home of Robert Plant, who lived nearby the Bonham family. Sending her recordings anonymously, Deborah soon received a positive response from the European label Carerre Records. It was with this label that her first album, 'For You and the Moon', was released. Despite facing some criticism, the album reached the Top 5 chart of 'NME', received airplay on BBC Radio 1, and sold well in Europe.

Following her success with Carerre Records, Deborah went on to record with the Japanese company 'Japanese Sam Corporation'. In 1995, she released the single 'Perfect World' through the British label 'RPM records'. In 1996, Deborah formed her own band and began recording songs for her new album. During this period, she also performed a series of concerts, including a performance at the Belfast Festival.

Starting from 1997, Deborah started touring in the United States, where her appearance on the radio show 'Rockline' garnered the attention of over three million listeners. Together with her brother Jason Bonham and his band, Deborah participated in the 'Whisky a Go Go' in Los Angeles. Jason also helped her perform at events such as the Glastonbury festival and 'Fairport's Cropredy Convention'.

In 2004, Deborah recorded her second album with the support of the record label 'Track label' and embarked on numerous concerts to promote the album. Her third album, 'Duchess', was released in 2008 on 'Rhino Records' in the United States. Besides her studio recordings, Deborah is known for her extensive touring.
