Biography
Bond was born in Osaka, Japan in 2000 and is the daughter of musician and composer, T.W. Bond.
Haggard and Halloo stated in their article that Bond's paternal grandmother was a runaway from a
Cherokee reservation, which makes her one-quarter Cherokee.
At the age of four, Bond released her first debut album in 2004 after being influenced by her father, who was in many bands during his career. In an interview Bond did for
KEYE-TV, she stated she wanted to create an album after watching her father write and record music. Her debut was released in late 2004. Bond is now seven and is still performing, promoting her music, often fronting with older band members.
Her father is currently a member of Count Dracula's Weed Smugglin' Jam Engine, a band signed to the Business Deal Records roster. However, he's also a composer, who once composed music for the Italian foreign film,
Il Circo Cinese.
According to the
Houston Press, her songs "showcase the wondrous mind of a four-year-old – one that's scatological and delightfully morbid."
Ellahy Amen Records
In 2004, Bond was signed to Ellahy Amen Records, a fairly new independent
avant-garde label created by avant-garde musician and former
Pigface member
Leila Bela. Bond recently launched a tour with Bela and was written about in
