About Me

Steve Bird AKA Mr Bird is a musician, producer, photographer, film-maker & DJ, based in sunny Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. He has been writing music, DJ'ing and playing in bands and lots of other stuff for what seems like a lifetime, still looking for that perfect beat... As Mr Bird, Steve has released several records which have been played on Radio1 by Giles Petersen, John Peel, Mary Anne Hobbs and Steve Lamacq. He was also invited to record a session for the late, great DJ John Peel (greatly missed) at the BBC Maida Vale Studios, which was broadcast twice in 2002, and has had his music used by BBC1, BBC2, ITV, CH4 & MTV. Steve has played backstage in the Dance Tent and the Dance Tent itself at the Glastonbury Festival over a 7 year period. He has also provided music for several short films and animations in conjunction with theDigitalCity projects over the last two years. Mr Bird co-wrote the music for a film called The Chimera Project which was produced in Newcastle in conjunction with the Light Surgeons and the Tyneside Cinema, and was broadcast in 2003 on BBC2. Last year Steve released his 2nd LP on the Brighton based label, Frequent Soundz, and is currently working on the 3rd Mr Bird LP (Provisionally called 'Super-Canny'), re-mixing other artists, making short films and videos when he has the time, DJ'ing lots in and around Newcastle and occasionally further afield, with gigs in Lisbon and Hungary last year. Steve is currently working on new music under the alter egos The Evil Dr B, Senhor Passaro and Eronius_Smunk among others...and also looking for new homes for his music as he is currently unsigned to a label so if you are a label and like my music, please get in touch!!!For more info, DJ Bookings, Licensing or Remixes please contact:[email protected]!
