Bonnie Anderson - FINDING MY VOICE'

THE SINGER ON WHY SHE'S DECIDED TO START FOLLOWING HER OWN ADVICE

- Kylie Walters

As Bonnie Anderson joins WHO on the eve of the release of her latest single, 'Bad Advice, the excitement is palpable. During a couple of years of massive changes for the performer, including becoming a mother and wife, music has been somewhat on the back burner. But after a health scare, which involved removing two cysts from her vocal chords, left Anderson fearing she'd never sing again, she is back doing what she does best with a new-found appreciation.

"My voice means everything to me, so coming out of surgery and not being able to speak for a week was very scary," the 29-yearold tells WHO. "But coming through the other side, I feel like I'm stronger and better than ever. I've always worn my heart on my sleeve, or through my songs, so it is exciting now to be channelling those emotions into making new music."

What does 'Bad Advice' mean to you?

Honestly, I have had so much bad advice over the years! I've been in situations where people have kind of diverted me and sort of driven my career or my personal life. And now it is about being able to move past that and stand on my own two feet and have a go and not let what others want to define you as [take precedence].
