Birdy Akkoorden

If you are searching for Birdy chords, look no further! Going by the stage name “Birdy” Jasmine Lucilla Elizabeth Jennifer van den Bogaerde is a child prodigy from Lymington, England. The singer-songwriter and musician was born on May 15, 1996, and started to compose her own songs at only seven years old. She would frequently share her music on YouTube, where Birdy’s chords and deep lyrics soon found recognition from a big following. At the age of 14, the artist signed a deal with the prestigious American music publishing company Warner Chappell Music. Writing lyrics and composing music is truly in Birdy’s blood: Her mother Sophie Patricia is a concert pianist, and her father Rupert Oliver Benjamin van den Bogaerde is an author.

Exceptional talent

At the age of 12, the singer won the “Open Mic UK” competition — the biggest music talent hunt in the U.K. — where she proved herself against 10,000 other competitors that took part in the contest. For her performance of the song “So Be Free,” which she had written herself, the 12-year-old got awarded the grand prize and won the under 18s category; demonstrating her exceptional talent. In 2011, Birdy celebrated her breakthrough with a cover version of Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love”, which was hitting the charts all over Europe and earned six platinum certifications in Australia. From there the artist’s career went through the roof. In 2014, she was nominated for the best British Female Solo Artist at the Brit Awards. While she didn’t win, she made up for that later that year when she won the Echo Music Prize in the category Best International Rock/Pop Female Artist.

Working on her second album Fire Within that was released in 2013, Birdy had reached the next level of her career: For the record she collaborated with some of the most famous song writers in the business, such as Dan Wilson — who had also worked with Taylor Swift and Adele previously. Birdy’s chords have also frequently been used for movies. She helped to compose the soundtracks of “The Hunger Games” (2012), “Brave” (2012), “The Fault in Our Stars” (2014), “Beyond the Lights” (2014) and “The Edge of Seventeen” (2016).
