A multi-instrumentalist, with a background in Scottish traditional music, she was awarded a place at the National Centre for Excellence in Traditional Music and toured as a cellist for various folk bands. Her original songwriting is influenced by classic artists such as Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan and combines her Scottish traditional folk roots with modern pop and rock.
