One of the world’s most extraordinary voices. A former multi-platinum artist with Columbia and Sony Masterworks, Jackie has sold out the world’s iconic venues. First discovered at 10 on America’s Got Talent, she is now shaping a bold, timeless new sound — reimagining the golden era of American song.
An era-blending vocalist weaving vintage jazz sensibilities with modern pop sophistication that makes you want to dance. Early releases from her album debut, "Stories in Pink" were hailed by JazzTimes as “sheer genius.” Corinne has performed at iconic venues, and has been invited to perform at the prestigious, Casa Cipriani NY. She continues to carve her own path with elegance and originality.
Meet TANKSLEY, a dynamic artist, songwriter, musician, and producer whose sonic palette seamlessly fuses soul, hip-hop, and rock influences. With a voice that effortlessly transitions from raspy depths to soaring falsettos, Tanksley's music is a testament to his eclectic musical tastes and innate talent. Performing alongside Grammy-winner, Lalah Hathaway and at iconic venues, we look forward to supporting Tanksley's journey.

“The major labels are sitting on billions in catalog wealth but will never invest in talent-centric artist development
— that’s why we built Bonfire.”
— Eric Todd, Founder
the spark
Bonfire is a nonprofit cultural movement that unites artists, fans, and patrons to build a new music economy and a better world — supported by Grammy-winning A&R.
​
Every culture that ever existed gathered around a fire.
To tell stories. To share warmth. To experience community.
​
But the fire dimmed. The glow of screens replaced the light of faces.
Algorithms replaced connection. Art became content. Data replaced artists.
And cultures retreated to silos.
​
Today, the most existential threat to music isn’t AI or streaming — it’s the disappearance of funding and development for real artistry. And humanity's existential threat is lack of real communication.
Bonfire was created to challenge the status quo — to build an ecosystem and a culture where authenticity, support, and community still matter.
​
Together, we light the bonfire.​​​
​​
. . .
The Bonfire Model
Every Bonfire begins with music — and ends with impact.
​
Artists are developed by Grammy-winning mentors and presented in Bonfire Sessions — intimate gatherings in halls and iconic venues that partner with local charities.
​
Each event unites artists, fans, and patrons to create a living circle: artists inspire, fans participate, and patrons empower.
​
Every performance provides tangible aid — meals, clothing, mental-health outreach, or education for those in need.
​
As Bonfire grows, these sparks connect from city to city, igniting the Bonfire Festival — a global movement proving that art and compassion together can change the world.
​
Music lights the fire.
Compassion keeps it burning.
Bonfire Sessions — evenings of music and conversation presented in elegant spaces and iconic venues. Like the great salons of Paris and Florence, these gatherings bring patrons face-to-face with extraordinary artists: up close, alive, and unforgettable.

Real A&R.
No Algorithms.
​
The industry chases algorithms. We discover artistry.
​
We bring back what the business forgot — true artist development — guided by Grammy-winning mentors.
​
Our focus is talent, not virality. We cultivate careers built to last, with songs that move people long after the noise fades.
Our model integrates authentic promotion that attracts real fans, not passive listeners, including direct-to-fan strategy, transparent distribution, sync, publishing, and live events.
​
Submit your music for review by our Grammy-winning A&R to apply for grants which can be used for production, marketing, tour support, showcasing, and more. Included in every grant: artist development and career strategy.

Because when fans become family, music becomes movement.

Fuel the Fire.
Make a Difference.
We identify and develop extraordinary artists overlooked by the algorithmic music economy — talent selected by Grammy-winning professionals, not data.
Your tax-deductible investment fuels the creation of timeless music and the cultural programs tied to each release — including charity partnerships and live events that deliver measurable community impact.
​
Whether you’re an individual donor, a family foundation, or a corporate sponsor, your impact echoes through both music and legacy.​​​​​​​​
​
Custom sponsorship, naming, and co-branding opportunities aligned with Bonfire’s mission of uniting music and compassion worldwide are welcome.​​
​
​
. . .
From sessions to cities. From cities to the world.
​What begins as Bonfire Sessions — intimate gatherings in homes and halls — will grow into the Bonfire Festival, a global series of concerts uniting music, compassion, and community.
​
At every stop, we’ll partner with local charities to provide direct aid — 1,000 people in need invited as honored guests, experiencing world-class performances and receiving meals, clothing, and essential care to take home.
​
Each event will celebrate both artistry and humanity — proving that music can heal, connect, and uplift.
​
And by 2030, our goal is to ignite a Global Peace Month — when every Bonfire burns together in hope, in harmony with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Goals Project.
​
Hard truth: in 10,000 years of humanity, there have been zero days of peace.
Our moonshot: to change that — one song, one city, one Bonfire at a time.
​
Light the Bonfire.
