I would advise against this. Bard in general is a weaker class unless you fully commit to it or use another class that uses the same class Stat such as warlock. I can see why one might think this as sorc also uses charisma. Wizards completely do not work. I will in short explain what I did in my class guide on YouTube for sorcerer which I think you may have confused wizard with
1) bard is mostly a buffing class (many of its buffs are bonus actions). As a sorcerer you will often need those bonus actions. Likewise meta magic does not seem to work with bard buffs?
2) bard reactions tend to be sword / shield focused, conflicts with helish rebuke / spell stopping spells(main sorcerer reaction). One reaction / turn
3) Sorcerer fights with no armor, and uses Mage Armour, bard uses medium or light. You would not benefit from your gear.
4) bard does not benefit from draconic sorcerer bloodlines. (Main damage drive for sorcerer)
5) Bard's buffs are limited and barely better then cantrips that provide 1d4 to story checks. The tadpole and resting everywhere makes these buffs irrelevant.
6) bard healing is terrible, stack heroes and throw a potion at the ground for healing surface, better then a lvl 2-3 healing word.
