Aberdeenshire folksinger Iona Fyfe has become one of Scotland's finest young ballad singers, and has been described as "one of the best Scotland has to offer." (Global-Music.de/). She has toured throughout the UK, US, France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Canada, Poland, Switzerland, Czech Republic, and Australia, and performed with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra as part of the World Premiere of Disney's Pixar's "Brave in Concert" at Glasgow Royal Concert hall. In 2018, Iona performed at Interceltique Lorient Festival, where she was described as "a Scottish folksinger, magical and charismatic." (Rolling Stone France). She was nominated for "One To Watch" and "Best Live Performance" at the Sunday Herald Scottish Culture Awards 2018, was a finalist in the BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year for 2017 and 2021, and won Scots Singer of the Year twice at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards, in 2018 and 2023, the first solo singer to do so. Iona graduated from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with a first-class honours degree in Traditional Music, and has an FLCM Diploma (Fellow of London College of Music, equivalent to a Masters) in Traditional Voice from London College of Music. She is a fierce advocate for the official recognition of the Scots language, and is a fine speaker of the Doric dialect.
