JAMIE BONK

In 1983, Jamie Bonk entered Queen's University as a music composition student. In his first year he was fortunate enough to study with one of Canada's greatest living composers - Istvan Anhalt. Perhaps Jamie's most influential teacher at Queen's was composition professor Bruce Pennycook. Pennycook enabled him to experiment with first generation MIDI sequencers, samplers and synthesizers. After graduating from Queen's, Jamie began his professional career in Toronto. He composed film scores for Lindrian Films' "Heart of the Forest" and Brenda Longfellow's "Our Marilyn". He did studio guitar playing and MIDI programming for a multitude of demo and album projects. He played in a number of local rock bands. In the early 1990's, Jamie began teaching guitar at the Toronto Guitar Institute (TGI) as an Associate Guitar Instructor. During his time at TGI, he taught hundreds of students and in every style. Jamie taught guitar until 1997, when he formed Bonk Productions in partnership with his father. Jamie has composed and produced corporate video soundtracks for companies such as Manulife, Cadillac Fairview and Southam.
