Towa Bird

A half-Filipino, half-English artist who spent much of her childhood in Thailand and London, Towa Bird first started playing guitar at the age of twelve, honing her technique by strumming along to The Kinks, The Who, and other bands she discovered through her father’s record collection. After forming her first band at age 14, she cut her teeth playing dive bars and street festivals in Hong Kong, then went on to study at Goldsmiths, University of London. Towa dropped out of school after two years to pursue her love of music and got her start producing and co-writing for other artists. Since making her major-label debut with 2024’s American Hero, she’s supported Reneé Rapp on tour in North America and Europe and joined Billie Eilish’s “HIT ME HARD AND SOFT: THE TOUR” as direct support.  American Hero earned acclaim from Billboard, Vanity Fair, DAZED, and Rolling Stone, which hailed it as a “collection of 13 succinct pop-punk punches to the chin.” Her debut offered an intimate exploration of queerness, identity, and the complexities of love.  In October 2025, Towa released “Your Girl,” which appears on the official soundtrack for Season Two of Netflix’s Emmy-nominated rom-com “Nobody Wants This” and is included on her second album Gentleman. Towa, who is the new face of luxury fashion house Miu Miu, has graced the covers of Vogue Philippines, NME, Dork, Re-Edition, Highsnobiety, Gay Times, and more.
