She has released the albums Birdy, Fire Within and now Beautiful Lies; toured the world, performed at the Paralympics Opening Ceremony and been nominated for a Brit Award for British Female Solo Artist.
En route to accumulating 413 million views on YouTube and selling more than 10.5 million records worldwide, Birdy has written songs for the films The Fault In Our Stars and The Hunger Games and sung on Mumford & Sons’ Grammy-winning song Learn Me Right, from the soundtrack for Pixar's animation, Brave.
