NY singer-songwriter Atoosa Grey was born in Tehran, Iran and raised in NJ. Her love affair with music began at age 5 when the piano was first wheeled into her home. According to those who have listened to her music, her music is like: a walk through sunny fields, music to float and daydream by, music that makes bloom all of the sleeping blossoms, or like floating through one of those strangely beautiful dreams.
Her new album is stylistically varied, from Americana to folk to beautifully haunting piano ballads. Its title references the red birds that reappear throughout the record to symbolize ideas of hope and luck. The album draws inspiration from some of Atoosa’s favorite poets, including Mary Oliver and Hafiz. Her songs are highly melodic and poetic, her vocals enchanting and warm. For Atoosa, whose mother believed birds were visiting spirits when she was growing up, this record signals a key moment for her as a songwriter where she has incorporated her various influences—Eastern and Western, musical and literary, personal and universal.
