Plum

Shona Maguire/Plum is a multi-talented songwriter and producer, creating touching, eclectic, and always emotive music. Undertaking work experience at Split-Level Studios from age 15-19, she was keen to learn studio engineering and recording. Frustrated by being unable to communicate her creative ideas exactly as she wanted, Plum undertook a Music Production course in London (2006). With time focused on production and composition, by completion of the course she had already been signed to American label Summer Rain Recordings, releasing "The Whispering Chamber" (2007) and "The Glory Feast" (2008). Upon returning to Scotland, Plum quickly established herself as a notable force in the Scottish electronic music scene and was snapped up by prestigious label Benbecula Records as the only female artist in their 11 year history, releasing critically acclaimed album Different Skin (2009). Following this, Plum had extensive airplay/interviews on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio Scotland, and local radio stations, and toured the UK and Europe.
