Her smoky voice and haunting melodies lead Music Biz magazine to coin the term 'torch trip hop' when describing her music. Bird's self titled debut cd landed her as "one of the top ten Emerging artists" by the music editors of Amazon.com. She has worked as a vocalist and songwriter with the likes of Deep Forest and members of the acclaimed Scottish band, The Blue Nile.
Her release, The Velvet Hour includes collaborations with Grammy Award winning producer Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin)and Grammy Award winning engineer mixer, Thom Russo (Juanez, Macy Gray) and includes the theme song from the Lion's Gate film "Crash", as well as songs heard on "Nip/Tuck", "Everwood" and the John Cusack produced indie "Never Get Outta The Boat"..
Bird spent a season as the 'musical voice' for the critically lauded CBS drama 'Family Law'. Her music has also been heard in director Dan Water's Newline feature 'Happy Campers', and the indie films "Betrayed" and 'Shelter Island'. As a songwriter, Bird has written songs for artists as disparate from her own genre as Cher and platinum selling Japanese dance diva, Yuki Koyanagi.
Doing double duty in film, Bird has recently gained popularity as liberal left upstart, 'Andy Wyatt' on NBC's 4 time Emmy Award winning series "The West Wing". Bird, (Kathleen) York's credits, include films with Tom Waits, Dianne Keaton, Julianna Margules and Dennis Hopper as well as the HBO hit Curb Your Enthusiasm and Fox;s THE OC.
