Young songwriter is 'unearthed'
Bonnie Grace, a local songwriter who launched her career on the stage of the Gospel Gardens in Umina, has been featured on Triple J Unearthed.
Bonnie, who has been playing guitar for two years, piano for seven years and singing since she was little, said she "gets so inspired" when seeing artists play live.
She said her song lyrics are usually poetry that she has written.
"Every day my knowledge of guitar and piano are extending and my love for music grows," said Bonnie.
Bonnie said her original song "Draping Trees" had received good reviews on Triple J Unearthed in the High section.
The Gospel Garden Sanctuary has been available twice a week for almost two years for spontaneous music expression sessions.
"There are not many places that underage artists can perform," said Gospel Garden's Ms Gina Booth.
"It is so important for teens to be able to express themselves in their time, when they need to."
