NYC Blues Hall Of Fame Member. The new record in heavy rotation on SiriusXm BB King's Bluesville and #10 in their "Rack Of Blues" Top 15 Pick To Click Countdown!
Inspired by early Blues and R&B legends of the 60's and 70's, Regina began singing and playing piano at the tender age of five. Ten years later, after picking up a guitar, she was performing. As the years went by, she had two children and raised them on her own. Life and love gave Regina more than enough inspiration to sing the blues. Her new album, "Love Letter" has two songs spinning on SiriusXm BB King's Bluesville station's Top 15 Rack Of Blues, charting in the Top 10 in heavy rotation. The original song, "Don't You Put Your Hands On Me" produced by Tomas Doncker and James Dellatacoma for True Groove Records, tackles the issues of domestic violence and sexual harrassment. Love Letter, which features Doncker, Michael Hill and some of the county's premier musicians is filled with songs of empowerment. She also wrote the songs, both music & lyrics, on her stunning debut recording "Open Up the Door." This collection of tunes represents modern blues with a ton of soul and storytelling at it's finest. The album was a #1 Pick To Click and is still receiving airplay around the globe. Regina's scorching vocals, songwriting and keyboard playing are garnering worldwide attention.

"This lady has a mighty voice and can throw it like a diva...her vocal here is truly majestic! Reminiscent of a young Maggie Bell."Blues Matters Magazine UK Feb 2019
"Regina is a gem...she was definitely the most soulful singer there. She got a standing ovation from the Gloucester crowd...that is incredibly rare to see from a New England crowd." Gloucester Blues Festival Greater Boston Music Aug 2018
"Stunning voice makes this an instant keeper!"Lee County Courier 2019
"The latest single release by R&B powerhouse vocalist Regina Bonelli, of Brooklyn , NY finds her unleashing a forceful attack on abuse directed at women. The raging musical support underscores the seriousness intent of her message. The slide guitar and guitar of Michael Hill (Michael Hill's Blues Mob) and Tomas Doncker push it forward.
Regina clearly remains a musical force to be reckoned with. She manages to hand-pick players that match her musical vision to a "T." More relevant music is in store for us. Be sure to catch her live show, as she is a ball of energy. I had the pleasure of seeing and meeting her at the Riverfront Blues Festival in Wilmington, Delaware this past summer."Greg "Bluesdog" Szalony Staff CD Reviewer for Blues Blast Magazine
"Regina Bonelli is the Italian spitfire whose Love Letter has been burning up the blues charts since its release .Among the power of her music, and certainly on stage (I’ve been dying to see her on stage for a year now), is the power of absolute self-knowledge: she isn’t playing, this is blues for keeps. She and Tomas shook and shaked and Regina went from a whisper to a scream, taking a breather only to speak a few words."Rocknyclive Nov 2018
"live from NY, one of the most powerful voices of the moment" Blues Again France Nov 2018
