Wallis Bird (born 29 January 1982 in County Meath, Republic of Ireland) is an Irish musician.
She lives and works in London.
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, after losing 5 fingers in a lawnmower accident (and having four sewn back on again) on her left hand, 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. It was here that she met fellow band member Aoife O'Sullivan.
During that time she kept on playing in small clubs or pubs as well as on major festivals. She moved to Germany in 2005. Prolonging her Germany trip she met other musicians and formed a new supporting band. After concerts in Berlin, London, Frankfurt and Mannheim she decided to stay in Mannheim, where she lived for a year and a half. In 2006 Bird moved to London, where she currently lives.
Bird is often compared to famous singer-songwriters like Ani DiFranco, Fiona Apple or the young Janis Joplin.
