Jade Elizabeth Bird[2] (born 1 October 1997)[3] is an English singer, songwriter, musician and former Stage School pupil. Her debut EP, Something American, was released in July 2017. Rolling Stone described her vocals as "raw and robust" with Tony Visconti stating "she sings so adroitly, she's very intelligent as a singer and there's nothing she can't do".[4][5]
Early life
Jade Bird was born in Hexham, Northumberland, where she lived until she was two.[6] Bird and her family moved to London when she was two years old, and lived on a military base in Germany when she was five. She later moved to Bridgend, South Wales, where she attended Bryntirion Comprehensive School. At age 16, began attending the BRIT School in Croydon, which she graduated from in 2016. While at the BRIT School, she performed at gigs several times a week.[7][8] During her Piano Session with Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1 in October 2017, she noted that she had travelled around as a child due to being in an Army family. She lived in South Wales, Chesterfield and Mönchengladbach, Germany, which had a big influence on her music.[9]
Career
In 2017, after leaving Stage School, she was sent to tour the United States with Brent Cobb.[4] She played a showcase event at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas in March 2017 and later in the year she opened for First Aid Kit, Son Little and London Grammar.[10][8] Bird's band consists of Will Rees on guitar, Matt Johnson on drums and bassist Linus Fenton. In 2017, Bird won the ANCHOR 2017 award of the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg.[5] She was also a finalist for the BBC Sound Of award in 2018. Her debut EP, Something American, was recorded in the Catskill Mountains in Palenville and Woodstock in upstate New York.[11]
On April 19, 2019, she released her self-titled debut album.
