Japanese pop sensation Bird was discovered by record producer Shinichi Osawa in the late 1990s while she was singing in jazz clubs in Osaka. She released her first single, "Souls", on Osawa's label RealEyes in March 1999 and in July of the same year launched her first album on the Sony Music Japan label, which sold over 700,000 copies and won her the Japan Gold Record for Newcomers award. Bird has recorded seven original albums, released 24 singles and has a huge fan base in and outside of Japan, who know her for her unique blend of jazz, R&B, reggae, and Latin music. The Monocle Shop stocks her albums “Free Soul” and “Mind Travel”.
