We asked Kim Carnie of Kim Carnie the following questions.<\/p>\n

Tell us about yourself<\/strong>
\n\u2018A standout instrument of her generation\u2019 (BBC Radio 2)<\/p>\n

Since launching her solo career in 2018 with the release of her EP \u2018In Her Company\u2019, Carnie has become one of the most sought-after Gaelic singers on the scene. With her \u2018velvet voiced authority\u2019 (The Scotsman) Carnie has become a regular session vocalist, having worked with producers including Jim Sutherland, Ged Grimes and Donald Shaw. She is featured on Net\ufb02ix\u2019s Outlaw King (2018) and the computer game soundtrack for Black Mirror, as well as The Bard\u2019s Tale (2019), alongside Deacon Blue\u2019s Gregor Phillips.<\/p>\n

Why are you involved in Scottish music?<\/strong>
\nI have loved Gaelic song for as long as I can remember. The language itself is so beautiful, but the songs and the storytelling nature of the culture drew me in from a young age.<\/p>\n

Any particular career highlights?<\/strong>
\nSinging with the BBC SSO at Celtic Connections as a part of the '\u00d2ran nan G\u00e0idheal' night was my favourite gig to date.<\/p>\n

What are your plans for the future?<\/strong>
\nI am currently working on a solo album, with release planned for early 2022. We are almost finished recording – just a few guests to go. I'm really excited about this. <\/p>\n

Later this month, I will be touring a new piece of work I have written 'Buaidh nam Ban' commissioned by the Blas Festival. The band include James MacIntosh (Capercaillie), Megan Henderson (Breabach), Brian McAlpine (Session A9), Sorren MacLean (Karen Matheson Band) and Cammy Maxwell. <\/p>\n

M\u00e0nran are on tour throughout the year at home and some international tours too, including China, US and Europe. Staran have some shows in the UK too.<\/p>\n
