The following five years have been a whirlwind for this extraordinarily talented young singer-songwriter.
While her teenage friends were studying, shopping and socialising, Birdy released three albums, toured the world, performed at the London 2012 Paralympics Opening Ceremony, was nominated for a Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist, wrote songs for hit movies including The Hunger Games and The Fault in Our Stars, won a string of awards, and became the face of Red Valentino.
In many ways, Birdy is the music industry’s antidote to the likes of Taylor Swift and Rihanna, still somehow able to live anonymously despite over 1/2 billion YouTube views. Her third album Beautiful Lies, which she co-wrote and produced, chronicles a critical period of self-discovery and newfound independence.

“Birdy has acquired something of a mythical status in music…Spectral howls and dramatic flourishes make for a mesmerising set.”
The Independent
Little Hours
Little Hours songs take shape in the rural isolation of their home studio on the clifftops of County Donegal. Freed from the hustle and bustle and interruptions of modern life, the duo’s pared back songwriting, sparkling melodies and frontman John Doherty’s show stopping voice are creating quite a buzz.
