Wallis Bird<\/strong> is an Irish singer and folk-rock musician born in 1982. Her songs are a mix of folk traditional sounds, blues, and funk influences, energetic rock elements all complemented by an extraordinary voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wallis<\/strong>, born left-handed, started playing at a very young age, when she was only six months old she was given a guitar by her father. Unfortunately, due to an accident, she lost four fingers of her left hand and was forced to learn how to play an upside-down right-handed guitar, a feature that reflected in her musical style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After studying Composition in Dublin, Wallis<\/strong> decided to move to Germany, where she began playing in some pubs and then in major festivals. Subsequently, Wallis<\/strong> started touring Europe with her band, composed by Chris and Michael Vinne, and A\u00f3ife O’Sullivan, until 2006, when she released her debut EP: Branches Untangle<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wallis<\/strong> immediately signed a contract with Island Records (UK Group), with which she released two albums: Moodsets, <\/em>recorded on vinyl in 2007, and Spoons<\/strong><\/em>(2007). The song \u201cCounting to sleep<\/strong>\u201d was chosen by iTunes as Single of the Week<\/strong>, allowing Spoons<\/em><\/strong> to enter the Top 10 of the English Charts for the most downloaded album.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October 2008, Wallis <\/strong>recorded a re-interpretation of Depeche Mode\u2019s \u201cJust Can\u2019t Get Enough\u201d for The Sun\u2019s television campaign All for 30p.<\/em> The audience\u2019s feedback was so positive that the song was released digitally in Europe and led to the publication of New Boots<\/em> in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, Wallis <\/strong>released her fourth album Architect<\/em>, about which she said: \u00abit was my great personal and musical project: a girl meets a girl, they fall in love and the happy ending follows\u00bb.
Home<\/em>, published in 2016, is precisely the realization of this happy ending, an intimate album, indicative of a more serene state of mind and celebrated by the cover\u2019s photo: an affectionate embrace between Wallis<\/strong> and her muse\/life partner. Following this album, the Irish singer started a tour, which visited Europe, Japan and Australia. In 2017, Wallis<\/strong> was nominated for the Choice Music Price and won the Deutsche Musikautorenpreis, while in September 2019 published her latest work: Woman<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
