About

Birjy grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and received her Bachelors in Violin Performance from the University of Michigan School of Music. After years focusing on classical music performing, gigging, and teaching, she began composing, playing in bands, and learning electronic music production while in Austin, Texas. She played violin with the band fortune my foe, affectionately described by its members as post-prog rock neo-morose core. She joined the Austin Songwriters Guild, and began singing and making music with a looping pedal.
Eventually returning to Michigan, she began performing solo in 2022.

Music

Birjy is the wide-ranging electro-acoustic solo project of an Ypsilanti-based violist, singer, and composer. Using a looper and fx she continues the tradition started by violin looping extraordinaires such as Andrew Bird, Kishi Bashi, and Dixon's violin, with her own unique take on the one-man band act. Her music, ranging from originals to videogame music covers, has the unmistakeable influence of her classical background, while incorporating folk, world music, and even post-rock sounds. It will, it's been said, ‘transport you to another world’.
