James Michael Bonamy (born April 29, 1972 in Winter Park, Florida) is an American country music artist. He released two studio albums (1996's What I Live to Do and 1997's Roots and Wings, both on the Epic label). These albums produced seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts, of which the highest-peaking was "I Don't Think I Will" at #2.
Musical career
Bonamy's first musical performance was in a program called "Country Music USA" at the Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1995, he was signed to Epic Records, and his debut album, What I Live to Do, was released a year later. The first single, "Dog on a Toolbox", was withdrawn before it reached the Top 60, as the label had decided that too many songs about dogs were already in rotation on radio. Later singles proved more successful, with the highest-charting being "I Don't Think I Will", which peaked at #2 on the Billboard country charts. He was also nominated as Top New Male Artist by the Academy of Country Music in 1996.
A second album, Roots and Wings, followed in 1997. Three singles were released from the album, including the #31 "The Swing", before Bonamy was dropped from his label. He has not been active in country music since the release of Roots and Wings.
