Seen and heard on the stages of Carnegie Hall, Boston Symphony Hall, the Kennedy Centre, Tokyo's Sumida Triphony Hall and many more over her young life, multi-instrumentalist Fiona MacGillivray is already a veteran of the music industry. Having toured internationally as lead singer of The Cottars for over a decade, she is now following in the footsteps of her songwriting father Allister MacGillivray with a solo project featuring her own wistful and contemplative material. Watch out for new music in 2023!

Fiona began her professional music career at the age of seven, when she started performing folk music around her home island of Cape Breton with her brother, Ciarán. Her first recording was done at the age of nine: a feature, singing The Rankin Family's "Fare Thee Well Love" on the successful compilation album Cape Breton by Request. At age 11, Fiona and her brother met young musical siblings Roseanne and Jimmy MacKenzie, and the folk group The Cottars was born. Over many years, the teen foursome toured worldwide, recording four critically-acclaimed albums, winning extensive awards and growing an international fanbase. Fiona's rendition of Tom Waits' "The Briar and the Rose" grew to special acclaim, becoming the band's most requested song. In more recent years, Fiona has been developing her own sound, honing her skills as a songwriter and composer as well as a celebrated singer. Skewing in a lush, cinematic direction, Fiona's music draws from influences of folk, pop, dark jazz, electronic, theatre and classical.
