My tween daughter was going crazy in her new school. BIG drama, which tends to be her style. But then, lo and behold she started running around the house singing your Monkey song--now she seems better. I think it calmed her way down.
My daughter just informed me that your song Nonconformist changed her life; “Mom, that song taught me who I am.” And you should see her–she’s so strong from the inside out. Whenever she gets caught going against the grain of expectations, she simply explains “I’m a nonconformist.” She doesn’t falter. Now I know where she got the word!
My teenage daughter found your song on the internet and recorded herself singing it for her grandfather. During the past week in hospice with him, we played the song over and over. It was the last recorded song he heard. Each time it brought him peace and seemed to give him strength to step forward into the next life. Thank you again for using your gift to bless so many...
INCREDIBLE AND INSPIRING! I can't even begin to describe how thrilled I am to have stumbled upon your music. I am deeply impressed, not only by the quality of your music, but by its wisdom. It connects with and speaks straight to the hearts and minds of young people in such a positive and inspiring way. The timing of the messages you share through your music couldn't be more perfect in today's troubled world! VERY EMPOWERING!! As a fifth grade teacher, but ESPECIALLY as a mother, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your amazing gift!!! :-)
I wanted to thank you for writing such a wonderful song, "Fearless." My teenage daughter found your song on the internet and recorded herself singing it for her grandfather. During the past week in hospice with him, we played the song over and over. It was the last recorded song he heard. Each time it brought him peace and seemed to give him strength to step forward into the next life. Thank you again for using your gift to bless so many...
My son never felt good about being his unusual self until we discovered your Nonconformist song one day. After he heard that song, he felt like a hero! It changed his life! Every day after school he’d come home and we’d listen to it over and over. It made a HUGE difference–thank you more than words can express!
My daughter just informed me that your song Nonconformist changed her life. According to her–and to quote precisely; “Mom, that’s the song that taught me who I am.” Wow. And you should see her–she’s so strong from the inside out. Whenever she gets caught going against the grain of expectations, she simply explains “I’m a nonconformist.” She doesn’t falter. Now I know where she got the word! Thank you thank you thank you
My kids are obsessed with your songs. We are so grateful–especially considering all their other choices lately!
I love what you are doing here! Your music is beautiful and your lyrics are clean and have a positive message! That is so rare, especially in today’s music industry. I’m instantly hooked after hearing just one tune! Messy; I can relate to it so well. I have always felt passionate about music myself and the healing powers it has for the hurting soul, and y’all’s music accomplishes this so well. I feel comfortable letting my small nephews listen to your music because of the positive messages.
I realize your song Beyond the Bend is for young people, but I've got to tell you. I know it from our family van and when I'm standing in line at the bank or stuck in traffic? It's my song. It really does relax my nerves.
I have to tell you... My daughter is obsessed with your songs and plays them constantly. Her favorite is Fearless even though she's very young - she's still seems to get it. And Einstein, for sure she loves. Every once in a while, a slow one will show up and she'll give me a look and say... "Ugh... mom. It's SLOW!" with such sad eyes. After all, she's just eight. Cracks me up. It's great to have songs around that kids can grow into that are still totally appropriate. Doesn't happen much.

My daughter just sang your song Fearless at her school talent show. She did a great job and afterwards people were asking me right and left how she came up with such a terrific song to sing. Just wanted to let you know she sings Fearless night and day. And now all of her friends do too!
Every young girl should sing Fearless! It will teach her EVERYTHING she ever needs to know.
Thank you thank you thank you. You've got our oldest daughter back to practicing her piano. All because she insists on learning your song Barn Burn. It gives her a goal. No more arguments! Oh and we finally have music we can all agree we all like in our family.
This music is really commercial AND really meaningful. Our whole family loves it. WOW.
Our kids play your songs over and over and over--that's all we hear! Yes, it's great material but those darn hooks are now stuck in our own heads like glue! I guess that's a good thing...
Before "the nonconformist" became a hit at their school, our kids were followers. But then one day at the dinner table, my oldest asks me, "dad, am I a conformist or a nonconformist?" I laughed. He decided, "Dad, being a nonconformist is cooler. From now on, I'm gonna be a NONconformist." His mother was so relieved, as you can imagine. His younger sister followed his lead since she copies everything he does.
My youngest son, Miles, is also a teen musician--he writes, plays the bass and has a band. We listen to your songs together and enjoy them a lot. We especially like "Fearless" and "Einstein". Keep up the great work! P.S. Do you need a bass player?
I am the manager/director of a singing group in Texas called Sense of Direction. We have recently discovered your inspirational music. Our group is learning, performing, recording and working on music videos to showcase your music. We love the fact that all of the music is beautifully written with great music AND lyrics, that it’s contemporary and age appropriate and fun to sing. We would love to hear any new songs you come out with. Please check out our Got your Back video of your tune! We’re also working on another video of another one of your tunes and hope to have many more to show you soon! Thank you for the inspirational music! We can’t get enough of it!
Our kids have grown up on Bonn songs. We love them. We even have Lessia Bonn song parties. Discovered this wonderful music on the internet. We are in Jerusalem. I have NINE kids, so we have a lot of parties!
Your music is EXACTLY right for our daughter right now. She has anxiety issues, leftover issues from being bullied and many more. When she's happy, she's very happy. But when she's not... Her therapist said singing can get her out of her head and you song lyrics cover exactly what she needs to learn. Grateful.
Been dancing around the living room with my kids singing Einstein...it makes us SOOOOOO happy!
So many flavors of beautiful voices! Each one lends a different texture to the vocal fabric of the "whole", and each voice seems perfect for the song it's delivering. Great songs! I love the variety of messages and the simplicity of the music.
We have been listening to your music pretty much all of the time. Last night we went to a wonderful jam session at a friend's house. My daughter was the only young person there. She got up on stage and belted her little heart out on one of your songs in front of the crowd. Her debut performance! She got bit by the stage bug though, even though everyone only made one stage appearance, and my daughter wanted to sing your entire song collection! It was magical!!!
I'm a mom in charge of a whole lot of girls. Your songs are perfect for us - empowering and thoughtful. Songs to grow by!
