About Me

Hello, I am Amber Wilson, a solo acoustic Singer/Songwriter based in Orkney, Scotland. My music is from the heart and to the point, with my guitar sheepishly whispering along the way. The Daily Record describe me as 'STUNNING...Hauntingly beautiful vocals and amazing lyrics' I have also recieved critical acclaim in The Fly, The Herald, Is this music?, Music Week, Music News, The Courier and The Evening Express.
My biggest achievements so far would have to be - Throwing myself into 'that first gig' when I was 15, playing to an audience of 65,000 at the annual outdoor festival Free at the Dee, playing the Go North and Go Dundee festivals, and receiving an ATOM award from the PRS foundation.
I have shared the stage with - Seth Lakeman, Paolo Nutini, Aberfeldy, Fionn Regan, El Presidente, Charlotte Church and Sandi Thom. I am currently living in Orkney writing my first album, after a short stint of singing with Morcheeba. Recording should commence soon but I'll keep you posted!

Have a nice Day!
