Jasmine Van den Bogaerde, also known by her stage name Birdy, is an English musician won a UK talent contest Open Mic UK, in the under 18s category.
In 2011, at the age of 14, Birdy released a cover version of Bon Iver's song "Skinny Love" which became her first hit in the UK charts. The single has been B-listed on Xfm and is a particular favourite with listeners of Shak's overnight show. The song was also chosen as "Record of The Week" by UK radio DJ Fearne Cotton, resulting in it being added to BBC Radio 1's B-list playlist as soon as it was released in March 2011. "Skinny Love" reached number 19 in the UK Singles Chart Top 40 on 1 May 2011. The official music video for the song was directed by Sophie Muller.
