Gretchen's Bio
Gretchen Bonaduce - With talent, tenacity, and charisma, Gretchen has proven time and time again that she
can overcome adversity and make her dreams come true. She was executive producer of 2 seasons of VH-1’s
“ Breaking Bonaduce ” which documented the chaotic life of her family. The series showed how her positive
attitude and strength carried her and her children through a difficult marriage with child actor Danny
Bonaduce. During the process, she successfully balanced being a soccer mom, a reality TV Star/Producer, a
career singer, and businesswoman. Gretchen was also an executive producer and creator of VH-1’s “ I Know
My Kids a Star ”.

Her appeal to fans was proven beyond a doubt by her recent win on Fox’s “ Gimme My Own Reality Show ”. Her winning show, “ Re-Inventing Bonaduce ”, shot in early 2009 and aired May 23, was a docu-soap that followed the life of Gretchen as she established her own brand. She is out to prove that she can make it without her ex-husband as she raises their two kids, is a lead singer of a rock band, a clothing and jewelry designer, and a business entrepreneur.

Gretchen has appeared on numerous other television shows including, Oprah, Phil Donahue, The Other Half, VH-1’s Behind the Music, The 6th Annual Family Television Awards, “ Love Lounge ”, “ The Big Idea With Donny Deutch ”, “ Soap Talk ”, 20 Greatest Celebrity Moments, “ In the Mix ”, “ Biography ”, “ Celebrity Paranormal Project ”, and “ VH-1 : All Access”.

"...In my 24 years of doing the Celebrity Dog Wash Festival, I cannot recall a band that has ever gotten so many people up and dancing as ANKH! did! What we enjoyed the most about the band was their warmth and kindness. There were no egos in this group, they were extremely approachable, down to earth, very easy to work with, and most of all very nice. We plan on inviting them back for our 25th Anniversary special celebration."
-- Kay Lynette Roca, Founding CEO Safe Harbor Sanctuary & Hospital

"Ankhesenamen, affectionately known as "Ankh", is the most kick ass 80's tribute band on the Sunset Strip. Gretchen Bonaduce's incredible vocal ability coupled with the band's unyielding musical talent is a winning combination. Ankh's tribute performance is energetic, highly entertaining and just plain ole' fun! You will find yourself singing along to every song. Good times!!!"

"Gretchen & Ankh make it easy for me to be "Mr. 80's" when they do such justice to the decade with their incredible musical tribute. Gretchen brings so much energy and life, let alone pure sexiness to their performance, it shows why the 80's were so much fun and the music is still as fresh today as it was then."
-- Julian "Mr. 80's" Douglas
