BEST OF LGBTQ+ 2022 - MARSHA MARSHA MARHA Ep. 12

This week Marsha welcomes Canadian painter and her beloved dance partner, Andrea Bolley on the podcast to tell the story behind Drake naming her “6MOM” and how she became known to be “the artist who can’t stop dancing” at some of the hottest clubs in Toronto and Hollywood. Marsha and Andrea reflect on hitting the town together and dancing all night long. From Harriet’s to Delilah’s, and of course, to Poppy's– Andrea tells Marsha that she was discouraged from going out to dance at nightclubs by some of her closest friends and family members because of her age. Andrea goes on to tell Marsha about her love for music, nightlife, and what it was like meeting Drake, Snoop Dogg, Director X, and Sean Paul for the first time.    Marsha and Andrea discuss ageism, social standards, and how to keep moving (and dancing) to keep your soul alive no matter what age you are.

Though we’ve thought about what we want to be when we grow up, we’re not nearly as reflective about who we are now. Marsha sits down with her friend, singer-songwriter Bonnie Mckee to talk about what it meant to manifest her dreams as a teenage pop-star living in Hollywood, and ultimately, becoming one of the biggest co-writers for some of our favorite pop artists to this day– Katy Perry, Brittany Spears, Jason Derulo, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera (the list goes on). Bonnie explains to Marsha that it wasn’t easy becoming a pop-star at age 16 after all. Shortly after her first album release, Bonnie tells Marsha she was lonely, broke, eventually dropped from her label, and struggled to work through a serious addiction to crystal meth.  Marsha and Bonnie discuss the business of songwriting, and how Bonnie figured out how to rebuild her life after hitting rock bottom. Bonnie also tells the story behind how she met, and eventually co-wrote some of the biggest hits for Katy Perry (“California Gurls,” “Teenage Dream,” “Last Friday Night”,and “Roar”). The two conclude with a discussion on sobriety, and Bonnie shares her new endeavor as a director and actress, in her new short film “April Kills The Vibe.” Bonnie also tells Marsha about her new music dropping in 2023.
