Cloudshine Global Music (a wholly owned subsidiary of Cloudshine, LLC) was founded by feature film producer and composer Andrew Bonime in 2006. Mr. Bonime has been in the motion picture business since 1970. After producing several soundtracks including the music for his feature film, the cult classic C.H.U.D. Mr. Bonime became Vice President for Diana Ross' film and TV company and later was International Project Manager for Sony Classical Productions. In addition to being an independent film producer, Mr. Bonime was president of the interactive company Infotainment, Ltd. and later became Chief Operating Officer of an Internet services company specializing in Fortune 500 clients.

Mr. Bonime was a staff songwriter in New York at the age of 14, and had a record in the 1960's. Now a Californian, Mr. Bonime has built a state-of-the-art studio just north of L.A. and has composed and collaborated with Laura Pursell, whose father, Bill Pursell had the hit Our Winter Love in the 1960's, on her CD Somewhere In This Room .

Mr. Bonime's musical interests are deeply rooted in his heritage: His great uncle, Josef Bonime, was the legendary music supervisor who pioneered radio and TV music in the 1930's with his radio show Let's Dance where he discovered Benny Goodman, Gene Krupa, Lionel Hampton, and Xavier Cugat. Josef Bonime wrote the theme song for the show which became Benny Goodman's theme song, Let's Dance. He also wrote the famous bugle call that began each episode of the radio show Death Valley Days.

This is an exciting year for Cloudshine Global Music as it launches what is sure to be a strong musical presence based on solid melodic foundation and emotionally packed and original lyrics.
