Electro-pop producer & multi-instrumentalist Shona Maguire (Plum) became the first female artist ever to win a Scottish Alternative Music Award, securing “Best Electronic” award in March 2013, having been heralded “One to Watch for 2013” by Best of British Unsigned in January 2013, and with her album The Seed in the ‘Best Albums of 2012’ list for many bloggers home and abroad.
Performing and releasing music under the name Plum, she creates intricate, unique, quirky, and ever so slightly twisted music. With a live set combining home made floor pad samplers, filters, various buttons and triggers, she has been described as a bit of a mad scientist.She studied Music Production at London’s Point Blank Music College (Best Music Production and DJ School according to DJ Mag). During this time, she was approached by Summer Rain Recordings, who signed her for 2 years and released The Whispering Chamber and The Glory Feast EPs in 2007/2008. Shortly after, she was snapped up by cult label Benbecula Records (now sadly closed) as the only female signing in their 11 year history, signing her debut album Different Skin. Since the demise of Benbecula Records, Shona has been independently releasing her music, with The Seed, her critically acclaimed second album “crowd funded” by fans.
Shona has travelled 28 countries, living in Melbourne (Australia), Seoul (South Korea), London (England), Edinburgh (Scotland) and she now lives in sunny Brighton.
