Janie Price aka “BIRD” is an award winning half English, half Irish singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. She lives in London UK. She started her classical music training on cello aged 6 and learnt drums from age 11. The unlikely pairing, born from a love of Jaqueline Du Pre and John Bonham saw her play in youth orchestras and rock bands.
At 18 she started her professional career as a session musician which has seen her play for the likes of Emeli Sande, Roachford and Just Jack to name a few. As a songwriter she’s written numerous hits including no 1’s in Belgium with Hooverphonic and single “Queen of Pearls” for Swedish country stars “The Tennessee Tears”.
Last year she wrote the script and soundtrack for a short film which is currently being shown at film festivals around the world. To date it has won 8 awards including the Global Music Silver Medal Award and the Performance/Aviva Short Film Best Drama Award. She has self released four singles from this project which have garnered significant support from radio including BBC Radio 2, BBC 5Live, BBC Wales, BBC Oxford and BBC Ulster.
She has also just finished a new studio album co written with talents including Grammy winner John Paul White (The Civil Wars) and Hal Lindes (Dire Straits) produced by Mike Hedges (Travis, The Cure) which she plans to release next year.
In the meantime she is off to Nashville and Austin this Autumn, performing and recording an acoustic EP to accompany her latest single “Roy” an ode to the legend of Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley’s extraordinary friendship.
