Experience the resurgence of live performances as visiting performers and local artists grace the stage once again, bringing us back to the vibrant pre-pandemic music scene. Last week, Alanis Morrisette finally wowed the crowd with her highly anticipated two-night concert at the Mall of Asia Arena, after being postponed twice. It’s not just the big names, though; newbie artists are also flocking to the Philippines to hold intimate concerts and meet their fans, many of whom discovered their talent online during the lockdowns.
One such artist is Birdee Sideris, a talented singer from Sydney who recently visited the country to promote her latest single, “Best Mistake I Never Made.” This catchy tune, now available on various streaming platforms, revolves around her decision not to give her ex-boyfriend a second chance. Birdee describes it as a confident expression of setting healthy boundaries rather than a diss track. She emphasizes that we often focus on the mistakes we’ve made but fail to reflect on the ones we narrowly avoided.
Beyond the Philippines, Birdee has performances lined up in Singapore and Jakarta, Indonesia. Growing up in Australia, she faced challenges embracing her mixed-heritage background, hailing from Malaysian Chinese, Greek, and Russian ancestry. However, she has since fully embraced her heritage, even incorporating the Chinese characters for “Birdee” into her name. In an enlightening roundtable interview, she expressed her excitement and happiness to be in the Philippines, where she aims to share positive messages through her music.
Birdee’s most popular song, “See You, See Me,” is an upbeat dance track that explores the concept of serendipity and the endless possibilities it presents when we seize them. Its lyrics touch on the idea of unexpectedly crossing paths with someone (“Saw each other here by mistake/ We don’t know what’s real or what’s fake”), and how it can lead to transformative experiences if we open ourselves up to them (“Arms are always open/ Lean into the feeling”). The inspiration for her music comes from a variety of sources, such as her conversations, travels, and personal emotions.
When it comes to performing, Birdee’s high energy is infectious, and she loves to engage with the audience on stage. Having started performing at the age of 3, being on stage feels natural to her, allowing her to fully immerse herself in the joy of singing, dancing, and making memories with her fans. Her music can be described as a fusion of alt-indie pop and electronic pop.
Not only does Birdee excel in creating her own music, but she also takes an active role in crafting her appearance. Sporting her signature slicked-back long hair in a tight ponytail and a makeup-free face, she exudes a powerful simplicity. Her fashion sense typically features cropped tops revealing her midriff, paired with high-waisted jeans or pants. In a recent Instagram post, she shared her experience bedazzling a basic black bra with silver safety pins radiating from the center. Her creativity extended to her jeans, which received a similar treatment, while her cropped denim jacket boasted unfinished edges. She expressed her enthusiasm for stepping out of her comfort zone and relying on her minimal sewing skills to create something special and authentic for her upcoming headline tour.
According to James Lewis, CEO of Disruptive Entertainment, Birdee’s music has witnessed a surge in popularity on various streaming services and playlists across the region, particularly in the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. With her rich heritage and the overwhelming support she has received, now is the opportune moment for Birdee to fulfill her long-standing desire to tour Asia.
