Bonnie Pink (born 16 April , 1973 in Kyoto , Japan , real name '''Kaori Asada''' (浅田香織)) is a Japanese singer. She moved to New York in 1998 and speaks English. She writes and composes all her songs, and plays guitar and piano. Bonnie Pink debuted in 1995 with her single, ''Orange'', under her real name, Asada Kaori. Her first album, ''Blue Jam'', was released that same year under the Pony Canyon record label. She described it as “mixture of bitter honey, blues music, momentary silence, irresistible madness, teardrops, sourgrapes, hopeful bombs, big big love, and a few green apples” in the jacket. It introduced her unique style of music that has been defined as an off-beat mix between Jazz , Blues , Pop , and Rock . The next year she met Tore Johansson , Swedish producer for the Cardigans, who became her good friend and produced much of her work. She wrote her third album, ''Evil and Flowers'' (1998), while in isolation in the Swedish countryside. She hoped to find inspiration there, but became depressed. She put her feelings of frustration into the songs.
The name ''Bonnie Pink'' has a debatable origin. The popular belief is that ''Bonnie'' derives from the story of '' Bonnie And Clyde '' and the color of her hair was pink during her first few years as a performer. However, Miss Asada has made several references on interviews and in her lyrics that she does not want to be a 'good girl'. That might indicate that the name comes from a character of a Martin Amis book, a prostitute of the same name, Bonnie Pink. DISCOGRAPHY Albums
