Wallis Bird is an Irish-born, Berlin-based lesbian artist who has won two Irish Music Awards and twice been nominated twice for Best Irish Album of the Year. She was the first non-German citizen to win the German Music Prize (Deutsche Musikautorenpreis) for Rock/Pop Composer of the Year (in 2017) and is known for her irrepressible energy on stage. On the eve of her third Australian tour, she chats to Katie on the phone about the Berlin independent music scene, the energy of Australian audiences, her forthcoming album Woman, and her recent single ‘The Ocean’, which she has described as a love letter to the LGBTQ+ community. The beautiful video for the song is embedded below. Here is the playlist, which includes three songs by Wallis, some gorgeous new and recent Australian songs, and the new single from Katie’s favourite singer, Adam Lambert:
