Born and brought up in the Highlands of Scotland surrounded by Gaelic song, music and culture, The Highlands Wedding Harpist's music is largely influenced by her Gaelic roots as well as her extensive classical training. This mix of the traditional and the classical has been fused with playing modern, contemporary music giving her music a distinctive tone, sound and voice.

She was the winner of the 2019 International Pan Celtic Festival traditional harp competition. She has performed in some of the country's most notable venues and festivals including The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, The Usher Hall, The Bridgewater Hall (Manchester) and a personal highlight was performing as the principal harpist of NYOS in the BBC Proms at The Royal Albert Hall.
