Wallis Bird is an Irish singer-songwriter from County Clare. Her debut album 'Spoons' came out in 2005, mixing folk, blues, and jazz in a way that felt personal and direct. She's released several albums since then, with songs like 'Meal Of Convenience' and 'Blossoms In The Street' showing her knack for writing that connects without much fuss.
In 2012, her song '6 Foot 8' got attention online for its take on bullying, though it also drew some criticism. Bird has been open about having bipolar disorder and dealing with depression and anxiety. She's talked about mental health and supported LGBTQ+ causes, but mostly she just keeps making music.
Her work has included collaborations with other artists like Damien Dempsey and Lisa Hannigan. The songs 'Counting to Sleep' and 'Feathered Pocket' are part of a catalog that doesn't stick to one style, sometimes bringing in electronic or rock touches while staying grounded in her voice and guitar.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
