Release Notes:
birdpaula was born in Tennessee and grew up in a
musical environment. She inherited her motherÆs
passion for opera, lieder, english and welsh
folksongs, and the affinity for jazz and blues from
her father. She left her homestate when she was
four, settled in Chicago, and later New Hampshire.
Her musical studies include classical voice
training, piano and guitar, as well as work with
jazz pianist Jeff Gardner.
During the 80Æs she sang in Parisian blues clubs,
did some recording and composed for television.
Indeed birdpaula is a complete artist, and when
music took the background for a while, she devoted
most of her time to painting and exhibiting her
work.
In 2005 she did a featuring for her son Jackson on
his album ôSmashàJackson and his Computer Bandö
which led her to meeting Marc Collin, initiator of
the Nouvelle Vague project and a renown producer.
Marc liked her songwriting and her vocal style,
invited her to participate on several of his
projects, and then decided to produce an album of
her own work.
Thus was born ôbirdpaulaö a collection of eleven
songs of delicate understatement, infused with folk
and jazz inflections.
