"Anthony Bonnette has a hit on his hands with Do You One Better —it’s got that 90s country sound that George Strait would have done justice to.” – Edward Wrobleski, Holyoke
Bonnette’s breakout track, Lone Star Steel (2023), landed on 34 Spotify playlists , reaching over 2.1 million listeners with 130K+ streams . It boosted his monthly listeners by 50,000 and climbed to #10 on the iTunes Belgium Country Chart (June 2024).
Born in Lone Star, Texas, Bonnette grew up surrounded by music. Inspired by a family that lived and breathed song, he picked up a guitar after high school and never looked back. His early recordings— Every Time It Rains and It's All Coming Back To Me Now —laid the foundation for his career after catching the attention of a Dallas producer who invited him to Nashville.
