Los Angeles based songwriting duo Bonhom is a new pop project co-created by James Coleman and Diwon. The two produce their own unique brand of epic dream like pop which you may have heard on your favorite TV programs. Bonhom recently had their song “Live for the Now” featured in the season premier of Witches of Eastend. Their single NYE has been picked up by Indaba Music and is currently being remixed by over 35 countries.

With Bonhom’s forthcoming album, Sex War, set to be January 20th, the two defy genres and labels blending elements of folk, pop, hip hop, edm and rock into an unmistakable sound that is Bonhom.

With over fifteen years writing, producing and performing, most notably with Maverick Records and Warner Brothers, James Coleman has toured and performed internationally and has licensed songs for commercials, compilations, and various film projects. During his stint at Warner Brothers, Coleman co-wrote with artists such as Aaron Kamin (The Calling), Jess Cates (Nick Lachey & the Backstreet Boys), and Stacy Jones (American Hi-Fi). For Coleman, music is a path to self-actualization even as it enables him to empathize with all types of people.

With over a decade of experience producing and performing, Diwon skillfully blends psychadelia with modern electro hip-hop, dancehall, and pop. Dubbed a “buzzmaking beatsmith” by The DJ Booth, URB noted that “Diwon is something else…in a profound kind of way,” calling his sound titillating and “juicy for the ears.” The Village Voice described his productions as “adventurous and banging.” Diwon has remixed a diverse array of artists from Dizzee Rascal and Miike Snow to The XX and Lana Del Rey. MTVhighlighted Diwon’s blend of hip hop and dancehall while 2DOPEBOYZ and Vibe Magazine’s allhiphop.com have also noted Diwon’s rap flips of 80′s inspired sonics

Bonhom blends pop, rock, and electronic elements to create innovative tracks ranging from their NYE with its slow build from a bass-driven atmospheric refrain into a massive rock hook, to infectious party anthems like “Animal”  and “Top of the World”,while songs like “Your Eyes” draw inspiration from Bjork and Depeche Mode.  Bonhom’s singles, “Live for Now” and “Get Up, Stand Up (Sign of Life)” embody their main message and music which compel listeners to live in the moment, let go of the past, and embrace the future. With a fantastic fusion of their musical talents, Coleman and Diwon produce the songs of which dreams are made.

Los Angeles based songwriting duo Bonhom is a new pop project co-created by James Coleman and Diwon. The two produce their own unique brand of epic dream like pop which you may have heard on your favorite TV programs. Bonhom recently had their song “Live for the Now” featured in the season premier of Witches of Eastend. Their single NYE has been picked up by Indaba Music and is currently being remixed by over 35 countries. 

With their new album, Sex War, to be released on January 20, the two defy genres and labels as they blend elements of folk, pop, hip hop, edm and rock into the unmistakable sound of Bonhom.

Sex War includes a diverse mix of innovative tracks that blend pop, rock, and electronic elements. "NYE" builds from a bass-driven atmospheric refrain into a massive rock hook, while infectious party anthems like “Animal” and “Top of the World” get your heart pumping. Bjork and Depeche Mode are the inspiration for “Your Eyes." The singles, “Live for Now” and “Get Up, Stand Up (Sign of Life),” embody Bonhom's main message to live in the moment, let go of the past, and embrace the future.

The theme of the album is the dichotomy of life, hence the title “Sex War”, where sex and war are synonyms of “life and death.” Songs like “Animal” and “Sex War”, at first listen, sound sexually oriented with a hint of misogyny, but essentially the lyrics are influenced by Proverbs (wisdom and folly). Juxtaposed against those, songs like “Get Up, Stand Up (Sign of Life),” are about the determination to stand up and speak your mind, to not be afraid and to not give up* our game; to be genuine and fight for it.

 Coleman is an experienced writer, producer, and performer, most notably withMaverick Records and Warner Brothers. He has toured and performed internationally and has licensed songs for commercials, compilations, and various film projects. For Coleman, music is a path to self-actualization even as it enables him to empathize with all types of people.

Our instrumental album, "The Instrumentals of Sex War”, hit stores today. “Your Eyes” is the first of the 14 tracks. You could get the full album on ‪‎iTunes‬, ‪‎Bandcamp‬, ‪‎Spotify‬ etc...
Now for some info on the record: It is rare for a rock band to commercially release an ‪‎instrumental‬version of their LP, something generally reserved for ‪‎rappers‬ and well, just rappers really. But ‪‎Bonhom‬ is a rare breed, far from the traditional rock band. Bonhom is made up of the alt indie falsetto ‪‎singer‬ and ‪‎songwriter‬‪ James Coleman‬, known to fans for his signature ‪‎seductive‬ ‪‎sonics‬, and hip hop ‪‎producer‬ @Diwon, known for his genre twisting and collaborative‪‎ singles‬ and ‪‎remixes‬.
 The two artists compose some of the freshest genre-less gems which might be heard in scenes of shows on ‪‎Lifetime‬, ‪‎MTV‬, and ‪‎ABC‬. Their latest single, NYE, was remixed by over 35 countries in varying styles, and "The Instrumentals of Sex War" highlights what makes the music defy genres and labels as they blend elements of ‪‎folk‬, ‪‎pop‬, ‪‎hiphop‬, ‪‎edm‬, and ‪‎rock‬ into the unmistakable sound of Bonhom.
This track features some flyness from @flyhats on it.

Bonhom - 'We Are The Masters' (Thetik Remix)

The dream-pop project, Bonhom, will be releasing their  music video for “Live For Now” in early 2013, but you could download the single & remix now!

"Live for Now" is the first single off the forthcoming Top of the World EP, set to be released in early 2013. The release will also contain a remix by Dubstep duo, Neutron - made up of Hollywood producers,Laze & Royal responsible for some of the hottest songs by Tyga, The Game, Chris Brown, Ke$ha and more.

“Live For Now” was produced by Bonhom, a new pop project co-created by two musical masterminds: singer-songwriter/producer, James Coleman and DJ/producer/songwriter, Diwon. Together, they produce their own unique brand of epic dreamlike pop. With the message of living in the moment, “Live For Now” is just the tune to blast as you’re getting ready for the New Year.

With over fifteen years in the music business, most notably with Maverick Records and Warner Brothers, Coleman has toured and performed internationally and co-wrote with renowned artists such as, Aaron Kamin (The Calling), Jess Cates (Nick Lachey & the Backstreet Boys), and Stacy Jones (American Hi-Fi). For Coleman, music is a universal language that enables him to empathize with people from all walks of life.  He lays his skillful songwriting and singing over Diwon's production, which has been described by the Village Voice as “adventurous and banging” andURB as "juicy for the ears." Diwon’s inventive sounds have gained him recognition byMTV, who recently featured his single "The Takeover."  

With the release of their "Live For Now" song and music video, Bonhom defines the style of Dream-Pop. From the danceable beat to the dreamy vocals, it combines a classic pop sound infused with a modern 2013-style production. The song is about living in the moment, letting go of the past, and embracing the future. The accompanying video, directed by Matthew Stubstad, interacts with everyday people as they determine their most essential values to guide their lives - like family, love, and culture - and inspires us all to do the same. These messages of meaning are sent up to the heavens in an epic cinematic flourish of your dreams. The close camera angles bring the viewer on an emotional journey to experience the present in its fullest power.

Bonhom blends pop, rock, and electronic elements to create innovative tracks ranging from their heartfelt prayer of "Sandy Be Gentle" (a musical plea for the East Coast during Hurricane Sandy) to infectious party anthems like "Animal." With a fantastic fusion of their musical talents, Coleman and Diwon produce the songs of which dreams are made.
