Janie Price, aka Bird is a half English, half Irish London based singer/song writer and multi-instrumentalist and will release her third album, Figments of Our Imagination today, August 14, 2015.
Figments of Our Imagination showcases Bird's musical prowess as she plays every recorded instrument on the album herself. The album was produced by legendary Rolling Stones board-man Chris Kimsey in London and mixed by Lee Groves in New York.
Bird recently released a video for haunting lead track, "The Dare" saying, "It's is about the invisible line along which we all walk and the video was directed by a dear friend who wanted to explore the concept of isolation the song also suggests. In the video I'm being followed and observed, but I don't know it. I'm pleading for my sanity, but no one is really listening."

Bird was six years old when she first picked up a cello and joined the local youth orchestra. She continued to play in throughout her childhood but her teachers thought her too undisciplined as she swayed in her chair. She later found an outlet for her passion at a place with seemingly no limits to self-expression, behind the drums in an all girl punk band, where she swayed even more.
Her professional career aged 18 with her first recording session composing and recording strings for a UK rap act. This heralded the start of a session career which saw her singing and playing cello with numerous signed artists, notably doing a world tour for internationally acclaimed violinist Vanessa Mae and composing and recording cello for the UK hit artists Just Jack and Emeli Sande.
Bird's debut album, The Insides received critical acclaim in the UK with Q Magazine declaring, "The Insides is an album you need in your record collection."
In addition to being a musician and songwriter, Bird was also invited to star in a six episode run for Sky Artscalled Art of
Survival filmed playing her musical compositions across Europe. She has also written her first book (based on her filmed adventures) titled, A Real Journey, originally printed in 2011 by Beautiful Books.
Bird will be making her way over to the U.S. in late summer to support the release.
