Scottish singer/songwriter Blair Gilmour is a multi-instrumentalist who realized from a young age that performing helped suppress his Tourette’s Syndrome tics. The young artist explores the secrets of songwriting, producing and performing, inviting listeners along for the journey.

Gilmour avoids four-chord structure, “favoring spontaneous compositions that come from deep within, inspired by both heartbreak and joyful observation.” He has recently released the single “Burning Up”.

Initially inspired by the heat of the environment on a songwriting camp in Spain, “Burning Up” eventually transformed into a love song, with Blair exploring the question: “How can you love something or someone so much that you know it is bad for you and your mental health, but you’re still in it for the chase?” 

The track also explores “being so emotionally attached that you are willing to sacrifice your mental well-being to maintain that connection.”
