Hi Everyone!
My name is Bonnie Piesse and I’m so excited to join Steemit! Thanks to my friend @benleemusic for introducing me to it and encouraging me to dive in…
Though I admit I’m a little nervous, it seems like a wildly creative and awesome community here and I can’t wait to play and see what unfolds!
To tell you a bit about myself… I’m originally from Melbourne Australia and now live in LA.
Some say LA is a crazy place, but I really love the high concentration of artists and creative people… it’s like everyone here left their lives somewhere else to follow a dream and I think that’s beautiful!
I sing and write songs…
One of my favorite things to do is make music for film and TV. I’ve been lucky enough to have a number of songs and compositions featured in some great projects and hope to do many more collaborations in the future!
Lately I’ve been experimenting with producing my own music... it’s been quite the learning curve (and no doubt will continue to be) but it’s been really exciting and fulfilling…
I will say I can be a bit of a perfectionist and so have been keeping these new songs to myself, not really knowing if or how to share them… but I think it’s time to change that and Steemit seems like an amazing platform to jump in and share my work! So… in the near future I’ll be sharing some sneak peeks as well as final products.
I also sometimes act in TV and film etc! (Best known for my role as Beru in Star Wars Episodes 2 and 3… yes I get to forever say “I raised Luke Skywalker.” Very proud of that! )
I have some fun projects coming up this year and look forward to sharing about those.
I’ll also no doubt be posting about my other passions and hobbies… i.e. Hiking, nature, women’s empowerment, food, yummy healthy recipes, natural beauty tips, personal growth and spirituality, travel etc
I’m also lucky enough to have an amazing husband (Mark Vicente… soon to be on steemit!) who makes beautiful films/videos etc, so I’ll no doubt be sharing lots of what we make together… here’s a little taste (a live video he did of my song ‘Don’t You Dare’)
From what I’ve seen so far, this community is so rich with inspired creators… I look forward to learning from you all and seeing how I can support you too! Please say hi as I’d love to get to know you!
xo
Bonnie
P.S. I also want to thank @coruscate @danieldyemusic and @maryjaney! Your posts have been very inspiring!

Hi @bonniepiesse, yes please join Team Australia!!! You've done your intro post so you just need to vote for ausbitbank here: https://steemit.com/~witnesses
And then provide me with a fun fact about yourself.
This is the latest Team Aus date if you want to see the style of how I introduce people.
https://steemit.com/teamaustralia/@choogirl/team-australia-new-recruits-06-03-18-and-choo-and-kubby-s-girls-week
Ah excellent, will do thanks @choogirl!
Done! (I think--didn't get any kind of notification that it went through... any advice on that?)
Wlcome! Dont forget me if i be rich in steemit.
BTW do you know who @coruscate is named after??? :)
OMG @bonniepiesse I’m totally fangirling right now! I’m a HUGE Star Wars fan and im so excited to meet you! You are SUCH an amazing musician and you are seriously going to crush it here on Steemit. 😉
As @goldmatters hinted to here... I am literally named after Princess Leia. My parents went with a different spelling... but I have a brother named Luke and my Dad would always walk around the house saying “I am your father”. Hahaha
That is absolutely awesome! I'm fangirling too 'cause you're the first person I really started following on here! You're super inspiring :) Also I've started a musical duo called Coruscant... will launch that at some point soon! Anyway thanks for your awesome posts, I hope to follow in your footsteps on here!
Crikey!

Awesome thank you!
Hey @bonniepiesse welcome to steemit loved reading your intro. You appeared in my feed from @benleemusic following. Will stay tuned for your work. Ciao
Thanks Neddy! Following you now too and looking forward to checking out your posts :)
difficult
It really is! Hope you make it out here :)
Hey welcome to Steemit, now hand over the recipe for Blue Milk!
OMG I just might... in fact I was thinking about a blue milk post on other social media recently... much better on Steemit... stay tuned!
Welcome to steemit, Bonnie!
Hi, Bonnie! Welcome to the neighborhood! I'm new too, only really posting for about a month now. It's kinda confusing to me in a lot of ways. Ive found the music community here to be top notch and so kind. You should definitely check out the open mic! There's still time to join this week's contest. I hope you (and your hubby) like it here! :)Best of luck to you! 💖-serena
Wow! this was a very exciting post to read!
I look forward to seeing more and more of your posts in the future! Followed!
Its really inspiring to see a fellow Aussie musician make some impact with their works internationally! :) Thank you!
Great to have you onboard :)
Is it like this?
hahaha
Haha yes totally lol!!!
It can be difficult to get started, as your feed is just the people you follow; and it takes a while to find content creators you like.
The NEW tab is unfiltered, although there are occasional gems, and TRENDING is mostly crypto shop talk. If you click - Here - you'll be seeing steemit as Ben does.
He's been here a while and follows some of the most talented and attractive people around.
If you see someone you like, just click the the black triangle next to their name and 'Follow'.
You'll need it less and less as you build your own feed.
Thanks @mattclarke, super helpful!

Hi @bonniepiesse! You got me while reading your introductory post. I'm so jealous of your journey as a song writer and an actress as well. It seems very adventurous. All the ventures you've had, they're so dreamy! I just followed you because I want to see more of what you do.
Here in Steemit, you can be rewarded through your posts or your comments. That is when somebody upvoted you. You can increase these chances through resteems - these are shares. Remember to upvote others as well because it rewards them like you.
I'll share this one as my way of supporting @Shareables. If you want free resteems, follow @Shareables. While it was very recent since they started their campaign, it is still very helpful for us authors in the future.
They will randomly choose posts from their followers everyday and resteem them for FREE! Just imagine if they've earned more than a thousand followers. If your post is resteemed, it will be visible to all those followers. Great right?
The best way to be rewarded is to expect nothing! Focus on your content and create content worth reading for. We call them articles and you of course as authors. If you provide good quality contents people will come to your blog and read them. Upvotes are of course the biggest bonuses.
You've mentioned you've been experimenting with producing your own music. I'm guessing it needs a lot of work to do. You do that alone? We'll you won't be tired if you love what you are doing. PASSION!
I guess this is my welcome message to you. Have a great day and enjoy your stay in the community. HAVE FUN!
Godbless! 😊😊😊
Thanks so much @imawreader!

First off, welcome to the community! It is so great to have you here. Amazing song. I love your chosen spot to sit while recording. It is fitting as your voice is heavenly.
Thanks to @benleemusic for bringing in so many of his great friends into the community.
After you get a couple posts up please be sure to do an original to SteemIt video singing another song. You can use dTube, or YouTube (as long as it is new there). Once you do I am certain either myself or @choogirl who was already mentioned in a comment will be able to get your post curated by a group we are a part of. It will come with a nice upvote and help get you some much deserved attention here on the site.
Looking forward to more of your talent shining through.
Awesome thanks so much @randomwanderings I'll do that soon! And yes @benleemusic is amazing at leading the way!
Neat video. There is a new tag for artists and their fans called "Boombox" I re-steem up to five tunes a day from there
Awesome, thanks for the tip!
Neat! Happy you upvotede me. It would be super awesome seeing a Star Wars actress using my tag for music!!! Makes me want to make a "Force-Inspired" beat! Uploading a Zelda inspired one soon!
Hello welcome to Steemit! I have had a great experience so far and I hope you do too! There are a couple of things I wish I was made aware of when I first joined. Ill bring up some uncommon things I've at least noticed people don't mention too often.
Steemworld.org/@(your username)
-a (nearly) complete interactive page that gives you a better overall experience and overview of what is really happening on your steem page.
-steemstats is not that good
-steemviz is a good pending payout site(does not include curation but has total pending payout including comment payouts)
steemengine.net
https://steemengine.net/join?r=633
-in my experience voting on steemengine.net does not give or bring better upvotes in a significant manner to make using your voting power worth it. HOWEVER...the followers gained is unreal. I gained 50 just yesterday. If you want you can use my referal link not required though...
steemit school with @dobartim and @flysky https://discord.gg/q9VEn5n
A very informative and supportive group of people for minnows. Its fairly new but great basic support and tips there not to mention lots of contests and giveaways and love!
if your going to buy upvotes for post promotion try and follow grumpy cat and his rules...
-https://steemit.com/grumpycat/@mikel2la1/grumpy-cat-making-a-difference
These are some uncommon things I wish I was made aware of early on when I first joined! I wish you the best and much success here helping us all grow this amazing platform!
Wow thanks @dynamicgreentk this is so helpful!
Your welcome!
Hi Bonnie, welcome to the platform. Come on over and join the TeamAustralia gang. You won’t be disappointed.

All thanks to your beautiful song Don't You Dare
I thank you and salute your powerful introduction post.
Best regards,
An Early Follower
EDIT: Wait WHAT!? You were Aunt Beru in the Prequels!? Steemit has officially blown my mind today. Huge Star Wars fan here! (I guess the profile pic gives it away though)
Revenge of the Sith is actually one of my all time favourites! OMG!
fanboy mode - slowly being disabled
So glad 'Don't You Dare' was helpful for you :) For sure we all need a little strength to get through our struggles!
And re Star Wars... yes haha! You're the first Star Wars fan I've met on here!! Keep me posted if there are any Star Wars blogs etc you know of that I could follow? I'm following you now too!
I absolutely love this song! Thank you for singing such a nice good night song to me 😍
