Composer & Lyricist

Inara
George

Inara George is an LA native who has worked her way through many musical incarnations starting from the early 1990s to the present. She is best known for her solo work and for her many collaborations—including The Living Sisters, Merrick, and her Grammy nominated band, the Bird and the Bee, with producer Greg Kurstin. George has recorded close to 20 studio albums and has travelled the world playing rock clubs, music festivals, and venues like Carnegie Hall and The Hollywood Bowl. She has also sung with or backed up some of music’s greatest talents, including Paul McCartney, Sia, Shirley Manson and Garbage, Beck, Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters, Feist, Brian Wilson, Elton John, Van Dyke Parks, Terry Allen, and Jackson Browne. Her longtime collaborator and the producer of her solo albums, Michael Andrews, says her music doesn't fit easily into any particular genre—and that's part of its strength. “If her music was like a movie, it would be one of those quiet movies that no one knows until it wins an Oscar or something," Andrews says. “And then everyone’s like ‘Yo, you gotta see that movie!’”
