In many ways, English singer-songwriter Birdy is just an average teenager. The quiet, unassuming 16-year-old loves 'The Hunger Games,' spending time with friends and shopping, and she's a fan of the boy band One Direction. However, these ordinary adolescent qualities are definitely overshadowed by extraordinary ones. Birdy, whose cover of Bon Iver's 'Skinny Love' catalyzed her career, is a gifted pianist with a hauntingly beautiful voice and an easygoing, comfy-chic style that would make even the hippest girl envious.
When you think "Pixar soundtracks," you probably think of Randy Newman -- but for this summer's 'Brave,' the studio is going in a whole new direction, featuring a new track from the 16-year-old U.K. singing sensation known as Birdy, with added support from Mumford and Sons.
Who is Birdy? The young singer has been opening eyes on both sides of the Atlantic and now has a free iTunes download of the week with 'Without a Word.' Here's what you need to know about this teen performer, who has been gaining an audience with her somber interpretations of indie rock hits.
