Boulevard Unplugged

Saturday, 22 February 2025 - 58 minutes

Local singer-songwriter Amy Birks took to the stage for an intimate performance on Boulevard Unplugged, showcasing her heartfelt indie pop and country sound. From her early days singing at the Royal Albert Hall to performing at major events like Silverstone Woodlands F1 and MotoGP, Amy’s musical journey has been shaped by a diverse range of influences.

Having lived in India, Nigeria, and Bulgaria, her experiences have played a key role in her songwriting. She taught herself guitar at 12 by watching YouTube videos and began sharing her music online in 2019. Her debut live performance at HMV’s Live & Local Sessions in 2023 paved the way for gigs at The Patch MK, Unity Place, Walton Fest, and more.

In 2024, Amy released her debut single I See Through Smoke, followed by Me and My Mind, which gained recognition on BBC Music Introducing. Her talent was further highlighted when she became one of just 17 artists selected from over 450 applicants to compete in the Yamaha Music London Ambassador 2025 Final.

In this special Boulevard Unplugged session, Amy delivered an emotive set filled with personal storytelling and rich melodies, influenced by artists like Taylor Swift, Holly Humberstone, and Billie Eilish. Listen now to experience her raw and captivating sound.
