Irish musician
Wallis Bird, born 29 January 1982, Enniscorthy, County Wexford, Ireland
The first time Bird came into touch with music, she was six months old and received her first guitar from her father.
Born left-handed, she lost five fingers of her left hand in a lawnmower accident, and having four sewn back on again. She became used to playing a right-handed guitar upside-down, which contributes to her unconventional style of playing.
After school Bird moved to the Irish capital of Dublin to study songwriting at Ballyfermot Rock School.
During that time she kept on playing in small clubs or pubs as well as on major festivals. She moved to Germany in 2005.
In her songs she fuses elements of traditional folk music, blues and funk with an energetic handmade rock sound.
Her exceptional voice allows for a huge repertoire from soft folk ballads to rousing power songs.
Accompanied by her band colleagues, the brothers Christian and Michael Vinne and Aoife O'Sullivan, she frequently tours throughout Europe.
La primera vez que Bird entró en contacto con la música tenía seis meses de edad, recibió su primera guitarra de su padre.
Nacida zurda, perdió cinco dedos de su mano izquierda en un accidente con una cortadora de césped, cuatro de los cuales le fueron implantados de nuevo. Bird se acostumbró a tocar una guitarra para diestros al revés, lo que contribuye a su estilo poco convencional.
En Dublín estudia composición asistiendo a La Escuela Ballyfermot Rock.
Durante ese tiempo, siguió tocando en pequeños clubes o bares, así como en los principales festivales. Se trasladó a Alemania en 2005.
En sus canciones fusiona elementos de la música popular tradicional, el blues y el funk con un sonido de rock propio, pleno de energía.
Su excepcional voz le permite un gran repertorio de baladas folk conmovedoras, poderosas
Acompañado por sus colegas de la banda, Christian Brothers, Michael Vinne y Aoife O'Sullivan, ofrece frecuentes giras por Europa.
