She has also produced and released 10 solo albums of her own compositions, reaching over 11 million streams on digital platforms as a self published artist.

Collaborations have been with Philip Glass, Ashley MacIsaac, Carlos Nuñez, Alan Stivell, LMO orchestra, McOpera String Quartet, Band of Horses, and many more. She continues to revolutionise her musical signature of Classical Crossover ‘sound’ and has proven herself to be the number one most played artist in Caffe Nero throughout the UK and abroad, for more than 2 years in a row.

“A virtuoso who can tickle and glide across the strings just as majestically as Harpo Marx once did. Her enthralling and slightly unnerving music was enough to give even Mike Oldfield goosebumps”- Barry Gordon, The Evening News. The Scotsman

“A brilliant young composer”- John Suchet. U.K

“Full of Melody and surprise”- Philip Glass. USA

“Award-winning harpist Phamie Gow was astounding to listen to as she created sounds with the harp one would swear was three or four different instruments”- SooToday. Canada
