Towa Bird, a Filipino-British musician, rose to fame improvising guitar solos over songs on TikTok during lockdown, amassing over 1 million followers.

After her videos went viral, Bird featured in Olivia Rodrigo's documentary Driving Home 2 U (A Sour Film), before touring with American singer Reneé Rapp. Office magazine's Colleen Rodgers described the up and coming artist as a 'new kind of rockstar', calling her 'reminiscent of a modern day Joan Jett'.
