Bonnie Banane

Born in Brittany in 1987, Anaïs Thomas, performing under the name Bonnie Banane, has developed a universe that sits at the crossroads of R&B, pop, French chanson, soul and electronic music, with an approach that fuses sensuality, humor and offbeat sensibility. After singing in English on the EPs Greatest Hits (2012) and Rapt! (2013), Bonnie Banane began a turn toward French with Sœur Nature (2015), then gradually established herself in the circuits between independent pop, the electronic scene and alternative rap, notably collaborating with Myth Syzer, Flavien Berger, Ichon, Muddy Monk and Varnish La Piscine. Also trained at CNSAD and active as an actress in theater, film and television, she translates in her music a strong preference for embodiment and vocal play. Her first album, Sexy Planet, was released in 2020 and blends alternative R&B, synth-pop, chanson and electronic textures into tracks that rely as much on melody as on a sense of distance. In 2022, the EP S.O.S. took her toward jungle and drum-and-bass rhythms, ahead of the 2024 album Nini, even more open in its forms, spanning ballad, groove and offbeat pop. In 2025, Bonnie Banane signed with Joseph Schiano di Lombo to form the duo L’Orguasme, a project built around voice and organ, which continues her work on contrasts between theatricality, intimacy and pop writing.
