Jasmine van den
Bogaerde, better known by her stage name Birdy, is a 21th year old British
singer and songwriter. At 12, she signed a record deal after winning talent

15, 1996 in Lymington, Hampshire . Her mother is a concert pianist and her
father is a writer. She has two older half-brothers, a younger brother and a
sister. All of her family are into music and art, so they understand her
passion for it.
People probably don’t
even know her face, but this New Forest- born singer’s music is everywhere.
Some singers perhaps are overexposing their music and career, but this isn’t
prevail to Birdy, as what she said, “I’ll occasionally get strange glances, but
generally speaking I get left alone, “ “ I don’t think I would cope otherwise.
I was a shy kid when I started and I never wanted to be out there doing lots of
promotion or going on TV shows and things. I just wanted to let my music speaks
for me.”
Birdy began writing
songs at the age of 12. By 14 she’d had hits in the UK and Europe. At 19, she’s
a Grammy nominated, six-time platinum, multimillion-seller whose fans include
Jennifer Lawrence, George Clooney and Ellen DeGeneres. You probably hear her
soundtracks of The Hunger Games, The Fault in Our Stars, Disney’s Brave, a
track she wrote with Mumford & Sons and the RED Valentino campaign. Her
song “Wings” was featured in the movie trailer for the recent film “Winter’s
Tale”.
Birdy has produced
three albums Birdy (2011), Fire Within (2013), and Beautiful Lies (2016). She
has a beautiful voice and she’s really good in playing piano, almost all of her
songs she plays piano. Her favorite song of her sophomore album “Fire within”
is called “ All You Never Say” which she wrote with Dan Wilson (Adele, Taylor
Swift) in Los Angeles. Her albums consist of various genres like indie folk,
indie pop, also baroque pop. Her songs like Wild Horses, Keeping Your Head Up,
