Heather has always had a love of Scottish music, and has been singing for as long as she can remember.
At the age of 15 she began playing the Scottish harp and was immediately accepted into Splore, the traditional music course at the Aberdeen International Youth Festival. Having graduated in 2008 from The Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama with a first class honors BA Scottish music Heather went on to complete a postgraduate diploma in Scottish music performance.
Heather has traveled extensively in Scotland and her music has taken her as far afield as Germany, Denmark, Latvia and New York, playing for dignitaries like Jack McConnell and Prince Albert of Monaco. She also provided backing music for Tom Conti's rendition of A Man's A Man for A' That during Tartan week in America in 2006, and returned in 2009.
Heather's playing has been described as vibrant and thoughtful in her interpretation of traditional standards and audiences have commented on the purity of her voice.
