Singer-songwriter
Alyssa Bonagura is the latest songwriter signed to
Jeffrey Steele‘s 3 Ring Circus Music. “She’s the goods! When she first introduced herself and told me who her parents were and that she was working with
David Conrad, I just got that feeling,” Steele said. “She’s the most inspiring and creative singer-songwriter I have seen in a long time.”
The daughter of artists
Michael Bonagura and
Kathie Baillie (Baillie and the The Boys), Bonagura first recorded for a duet with
Kenny Rogers at age 10, and was on tour by age 13, opening a 50+ city tour for
Marty Stuart. She attended Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts in the U.K. In 2012, her song “I Make My Own Sunshine” was placed in a Lowe’s commercial. She has also recorded and performed with artists including
Vince Gill, Matt Maher, Jo Dee Messina, and Steele.
