MILES’S LIFE.


Miles Bonny (born November 7, 1980) is a record producer, singer, trumpeter, and DJ. Miles currently lives in Kansas City, Missouri. The grandson of Helen Bonny, he was born in New York, New York to Francis Bonny and Anne Grothe and grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey, where he attended Teaneck High School.[1] He moved to Lawrence, Kansas to attend Kansas University in 1999. There he began producing music and started the regional hip hop website Lawrencehiphop.com which helped bring media attention to the region’s hip hop artists. Additionally, he co-founded Hip Hop group SoundsGood in 2000 with Kansas City based rapper Joe Good. In the early years of SoundsGood the group was well known in the “house party” scene, where they were known to “kill it”, “throw down” and “lace crowds off”. He has also worked on collaborative projects with Approach (Al Japro) and iD (The Find). During this period an internship with Sub Verse Music led Miles becoming more acquainted with the New York independent hip hop scene, which informed his ability to later start his own label, INnatesounds.

P.G.O.B. feat.Miles Bonny SUFF DADDY.

“29 brand-new Suff Daddy joints in a drunken boom bap style. Fuelled by crackling old records, weed and sick micro korg licks. A couple of vocals cuts are thrown into the mix too but it’s all about the beat and the vibe here.”

“LOVES YOU.”


“Miles Bonny loves you. His music evokes feelings of honesty and musicality, and he wouldn’t want it any other way. The son of Francis Bonny, a professional trumpet player, Miles has been exposed to Jazz, Latin, and Classical music all of his life. Growing up with trumpets around him, he played his first note at age 2. Frequent trips accompanying his father at latin, jazz, and symphony rehearsals allowed him to meet greats such as Tito Puente and Max Roach.”
