Christine "Cris" Bonacci is an Australian-born producer[1], songwriter and musician.
[edit] CareerStarting in 1977 with Bonacci's first group in Melbourne, Australia -- Sweet Jayne[2], founded by Bonacci and bass player Sally Zylstra—which developed a sizeable local following in Melbourne and recorded several early works, she has played in numerous bands, never staying with one unit for more than a couple of years. After Sweet Jayne, Bonacci joined all-female hard rock outfit She as lead guitarist. She included Jackie "Jacqui" Bodimead, whom Bonacci would later team up with in Girlschool. During her stint in Sweet Jayne Bonacci's musical talent was discovered by Mike Oldfield, who was impressed to the degree that he promptly invited Bonacci to the United Kingdom as session and recording musician. When UK-based hard rock outfit Girlschool heard of Bonacci they invited both her and keyboard player Bodimead to join the band. Both agreed. Bonacci recorded four albums and toured extensively with Girlschool during her time with the group (1983 to 1991); Running Wild, Nightmare at Maple Cross, Take a Bite and Girlschool. (Running Wild did not get a UK release.) After Bonacci left Girlschool early in 1991 she joined up with Toyah Willcox, performing several notable promotional appearances in the media for Willcox' album Ophelia's Shadow. In the years 1991 and 1992 Bonacci and Willcox joined up with and Bonacci's former band mates Williams and McAuliffe and formed the She Devils. In the years 1991 and 1992 the She Devils made two smaller tours around Europe. After the She Devils project came to its conclusion, Bonacci joined Marc Almond's touring band, before ultimately focusing her career on music production. In December, 2004, however, Bonacci re-joined Girlschool for a one-off gig at the London Garage along original guitarist Kelly Johnson and present guitarist Jackie Chambers. Bonacci has written lyrics and music for and produced a variety of artists. Mostly for the bands and artists she's been involved with at the time but she has also written for and produced other artists, such as All Saints and Samantha Fox. As of 2007 her interests are focused on studio work and production, whereas the earlier focus was on orchestral work and touring. Her latest production is ID Models' Fashion Lounge compilation album from 2003. She is currently affiliated with Electracult, a band she formed with Michelle Mullen in January 2005[3]. Electracult released their first full-length release Electracult Me on 15 April 2008, on Renaissance Records. She has recently produced tracks for Ella Skye[4], and co-produced and engineered Dawne Adams' album "Assume Nothing"[5]. [edit] DiscographyWith Sweet Jayne
