A.k.a. Debbie Bonham

Deborah Bonham is an English rock and blues vocalist. She was born in Redditch, Worcestershire, England on 7 February 1962. The younger sister of the late John Bonham (14 years older and drummer with Led Zeppelin) and the late Michael Bonham (12 years older and disc jockey, author and photographer), she lived with her father in The Old Hyde farm, Cutnall Green, Worcestershire (the location where John Bonham's fantasy sequence was filmed for 'The Song Remains the Same'). While living there, she started playing and recording music with her nephew Jason Bonham. Deborah was encouraged by Led Zeppelin's vocalist Robert Plant to record her first demos at the age of 17. Her first record deal saw the release of the critically acclaimed 'For you and the Moon' reaching the top 5 in the UK NME charts. With her established band, she has toured the UK and Europe over the years, and has had successful trips to the US. More recently she has released several CDs with notable guest musicians and performed at major UK blues festivals.
