Birdy, born Jasmine Lucilla Elizabeth Jennifer van den Bogaerde on May 15, 1996, in Lymington, England, is an evocative singer-songwriter and musician who rose to prominence at a young age. She began writing her own music at the age of 7 and by 12 had won the Open Mic UK music competition, setting the stage for her breakthrough. Her eponymous debut album, released in 2011 when she was only 15, showcased her poignant piano skills and soul-stirring vocals, garnering acclaim with her cover of Bon Iver's "Skinny Love," which became a viral sensation.

With a talent for transforming both covers and original pieces into hauntingly beautiful renditions, Birdy has developed a distinctive style characterized by emotive delivery and delicate musical arrangements. Her subsequent albums, including "Fire Within" (2013) and "Beautiful Lies" (2016), have continued to showcase her growth as a songwriter and her ability to convey deep emotion. The release of "Portraits" and its accompanying remixes in 2021 reflects a maturation of her sound, blending her folk roots with more contemporary pop elements. Throughout her career, she has collaborated with a variety of artists and contributed to film soundtracks, exemplifying her versatility and broad appeal. Birdy's reflective lyrics and ethereal voice have earned her a dedicated fan base and secured her place as a unique and compelling voice in the indie and folk-pop music scene.
