Bonita Jalane is a genre-blending R&B artist, songwriter, and performer whose music fuses soul, jazz, hip-hop, gospel, and spoken word into deeply personal and powerful storytelling. Hailing from Brooklyn, NY, Bonita brings an authentic and emotionally rich voice to every stage, studio, and screen she touches. With over 15 years in the music industry, she has collaborated with major artists, built a loyal fanbase as an independent artist, and continues to rise as a creative force.

 

Her latest album, Kept Kissing Frogs, is a soul-baring project that chronicles the highs and lows of love, heartbreak, betrayal, and ultimately self-discovery. The title is a metaphor—F.R.O.G. standing for Forgive, Release, Overcome, and Grow—and each song peels back the layers of Bonita’s healing journey. From the viral single “So High” to the empowering anthem “I Love Myself,” the album showcases her raw vulnerability, dynamic vocal range, and fearless artistry.

 

Bonita is a charting artist, with her music featured on major platforms like BET.com (Artists to Watch 2025), Hot97, KissFM Atlanta, Bossip, and over 20 Spotify playlists.

Her single “So High” continues to chart on Adult R&B radio nationwide and is making waves across digital platforms.

 

In addition to music, Bonita is a visual storyteller and director, curating compelling visuals for her projects. She recently headlined a one-woman show at City Winery Atlanta, where she combined monologues, theatrical performance, and live music to bring Kept Kissing Frogs to life in three acts: Frogs I Chose, Frogs That Broke Me, and Kept Kissing Frogs Until I Loved Myself.

 

Bonita is also a proud Recording Academy voting member, using her voice to uplift independent artists and advocate for transparency and fairness in the music industry. She is deeply committed to creating music that heals and connects, and is developing initiatives to protect and empower women navigating the industry.

 

Whether performing on stage, directing a video, or writing a verse, Bonita Jalane brings heart, honesty, and soul to everything she does. Her artistry is immersive, healing, and rooted in truth—making her one of the most exciting voices in today’s progressive R&B landscape.
