Valtos is the project of Skye natives Daniel Docherty and Martyn MacDonald, a duo that has transformed the Scottish folk and electronic scene since their debut performances in 2021. Described by Folk Radio UK as “like nothing you’ve heard before,” their music blends Scottish tradition with electronic sounds and contemporary atmospheres.
Inspired by artists such as Martyn Bennett, Peatbog Faeries, Odesza and Bicep, Valtos have created a unique and genre-defying sound. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2022, featured collaborations with well-known Celtic artists including Donnie Munro, Lana Pheutan and Gary Innes.
Between 2023 and 2024 they developed the ambitious Valtos and Friends project, releasing twelve singles alongside artists such as Elephant Sessions, Julie Fowlis and Project Smok, culminating in a second album released in 2025.
Joined onstage by a full live band, Valtos deliver energetic and immersive performances that have established them as one of the most innovative acts in contemporary Scottish Celtic music.
