Blair Davie’s story is one of perseverance. This young Scottish artist is destined to be one of our most inspiring new stars, who possesses one of those rare voices that has the power to speak to our very souls. Their new EP, First and Last, is testament to Davie’s prodigious talent both as a vocalist and songwriter. Inspired largely by their long-term relationship, it is a startlingly intimate portrait of the kind of love Davie never expected to find. These are songs filled with reverence and gratitude for the sacred bond they share with their partner, reflecting on past, present and future. Born in Perth, Scotland, Davie was raised by a family of musicians, including their mum’s side, many of whom were bagpipers. Davie, who is non-binary, recalls at age six, their dad picked up the guitar, and soon his guitar teacher was instructing Davie, too. “It was like unlocking a treasure chest, such a joyous moment.”
