   My name is Gerald Bonachita and I've been writing and performing my own songs since 1985. I grew up here in Antelope Valley, moving here in 1979.  For me, the game changer was the first time hearing Eddie Van Halen in 1983. I had to play electric guitar and wanted to compose my own material. The idea of hearing something in my head, & translating that into something tangible, soon became an all consuming pursuit. Guitar is my main instrument, but I also play bass, keyboards and percussion. I've done dozens of recordings as an solo artist and session player. I've shared the stage with a variety of platinum selling artists, including guitar virtuoso Zakk Wylde, and 80's new wave favorites, The Fixx. I've traveled as far as Australia & New Zealand to play music. I currently perform in an acoustic duo here in California, as well as a full electric rock band in Las Vegas. Through all of life's struggles and adversities, music has been my saving grace. I want to share my nearly 40 years of experience & help students become more confident and competent in expressing themselves through music & songwriting.
