Singer-Songwriter | Nashville Recording Artist | Midwest CMO Member

Birdy Young is an award-winning singer-songwriter , Nashville Recording Artist, and Author hailing from a small town in Central Iowa. From a young age, Birdy discovered her passion for music and began honing her craft—eventually taking the leap into a full-time music career in the fall of 2022.

Her journey began at just 17, sneaking into bars and clubs for karaoke nights. That passion led her to Nashville, where she recorded her debut album at age 19 with legendary producer Richard Donahue. Despite being turned away from Music Row for not fitting the conventional "look" of a music industry star, Birdy stayed true to herself and continued to chase her dreams.

A Life-Changing Moment

In 2017, tragedy struck. Birdy and her family were involved in a fatal truck and horse trailer rollover accident that completely turned her world upside down—physically, emotionally, and mentally.

Despite daily challenges, Birdy maintains a positive outlook and continues to inspire others through resilience, authenticity, and heart.

From Poetry to Purpose

In 2020, Birdy rediscovered her love for poetry. That spark quickly evolved into songwriting—a way to navigate her new reality and share her truth through music.

Today, she is the creative force behind Hideaway Honey, a high-energy jukebox band based in Central Iowa. As a proud Midwest CMO member, Birdy brings soulful vocals and honest storytelling to every stage she steps on.
