After introducing themselves with a flurry of exciting singles, including the highly-praised ‘Stairs’, ‘Platform 10’, and ‘Him, Hymn’, and more recently their intimate ‘Piano Sessions’, 23yo London-based Scottish born and raised singer-songwriter Blair Davie (they/them) has been tipped as one of the most anticipated new artists on the rise right now. As a seasoned performer who has been writing music and fronting bands since they were a teenager, Blair’s rise can be pinpointed to the strength of their songwriting, which feels more honest than others in their field.

“The way that I describe it now is that I’m trying to chase magic. I turn up everyday seeking joy in my life and my writing and seeing if it might just fall into my lap for me to capture.”

Davie’s music deals with self-acceptance, loss, and heartbreak; but also, of pure beauty, joy, and shared honest experiences that Davie’s audience often relate to. Some referring to it as “Hopeful storytelling.” Looking ahead to the future, and what they hope it will bring, Blair said, “The dream is for my songs to connect in wonderful ways with as many people as possible. I am so attached to my favourite artists and their songs; they have truly seen the best and the worst of me. The idea that my songs could be the soundtrack to someone’s life in that way is a magical thought. I want to be able to play all over the world and have rooms full of people sing my lyrics back to me. I have been lucky enough over the last year to have experienced little moments of that and it is all I have ever wanted. That connection with people is so beautiful and so important.”

They draw inspiration from artists including Dermot Kennedy, Medium Build and Tom Odell for their open, raw, contemporary, and emotional approach to songwriting.
