The Bird and The Bee is fronted by enchanting vocalist Inara George and multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin. In addition to their work together, both Inara and Greg pursue other projects – Inara sings in the indie-folk super group The Living Sisters; while you may recognize Grammy nominated producer Greg, from his recent work with Sia, Adele, and Tegan and Sara.
Bringing both passion and playfulness to music-making has always been central to The Bird and the Bee, who first crossed paths when Kurstin performed on George’s 2005 solo debut All Rise. “When I met Inara, I felt like I was starting a new chapter in my life, musically speaking,” says Kurstin, an accomplished jazz pianist who studied with Charles Mingus band member Jaki Byard. “She knew the language of the music I really love – Brazilian music and jazz-and she sings in such a unique and beautiful way and can hear all these unusual melodies. It really was a dream to end up working with her, because I wouldn’t get a chance to make this kind of music otherwise.”
