A biography for Jade Birdhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm always up for new places and new locations... I think it's the funnest part about the job.”
“I've often been told that if music doesn't work out I could be a comedian.”
“There's not point in doing anything without conviction.”
“I love playing live, and doing big TV shows are exciting.”
“My grandparents divorced, both of them, and then my mum and dad did. So it's like, divorce, divorce, divorce.”
“I'd been gigging since I was 14, doing little competitions and pubs and clubs and old people's homes.”
“You do have to kind of sit down and try to write, because it's not the easiest thing when you're off and on planes. I'm sure if you're always on a bus, it's a little bit easier.”
“If you write your own lyrics now, and those are the main focus in the EP... people tend to approach it as Americana, which is wild. That's what leads people to it. But it's just whatever people want; as long as they like the music.”
“I always respected country music for its narrative and how it's so solid, you can get the picture in your mind.”
“I can't emphasize enough how much of a writer I am.”
“No one ever wants to be the girl that got her relationship wrong again, but if you let your cynicism take over you risk never falling in love.”
“I write great songs and the mistakes make them even better. No one else could write a Morrissey song.”
“Connecting with fans online can be the make or break or some artists, and I think that's a bit dangerous.”
“I've had to tell people that I'm not co-writing. I don't want to do it and that's that.”
“I really like a lot of American country stuff, so my music has that influence, but I don't like to be set within a genre. It feels very limiting.”
“I am a bit of a granny, I feel older than my years. I like to read rather than go to parties but at the same time my band and I have a lot of fun on tour and can be big kids.”
“I make sure that everyone on the team and in my band really love music. They live for music, and it's our whole life, and we choose it to be so.”
“I write 100% of my material by myself. That's really important to me because I don't want what I'm trying to say to be diluted by anyone that might not know my circumstance or who I am as a person.”
“No artist is one-dimensional. I get the sense that if I push myself now and if I create a million different-sounding songs - I just feel that's going to be such a set-up for my ability in the future.”
“I like my jumpsuits. They're easy to get about in, I can move a bit onstage, there's nothing to tuck in, and I don't look like a little girl.”
