During an impressive career spanning more than a decade, with
multiple awards,
accolades and four studio albums, she has until now, sung primarily in Scottish
Gaelic.
The Latin title of her fifth studio album ‘alterum’ gently suggests that

Julie Fowlis originally hails from North Uist in the Outer Hebrides and is
now based in the
Highlands of Scotland. Firmly established as a world music artist with a natural
interest
and ability to cross-over into other genres and styles, she will forever be
known as the
singing voice of Merida, the female protagonist in the Disney-Pixar
Oscar/Bafta/Golden
Globe winning movie ‘Brave’.
- Fowlis's ascent to international stardom, putting Gaelic folk on the world music map, is
evidence that a sublime voice transcends language and culture' – Guardian
