A former British Army officer, singer/songwriter James
Blunt is a thoughtful performer with a knack for crafting
melodic contemporary soft rock tunes. Born in Tidworth,
Wiltshire, England in 1974 to a family with a long
military history, Blunt entered the army after graduating
from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Ultimately
achieving the rank of captain, Blunt served with the NATO
peacekeeping force in Kosovo and finished out his time in
the military as a member of the Life Guard Regiment in the
British Household Cavalry. Having long been interested in
music, Blunt wasted no time in pursuing a pop career after
leaving the army.
A subsequent performance at the South by Southwest
Festival in Austin, TX, brought Blunt to the attention of
4 Non Blondes singer/producer Linda Perry, who signed
Blunt to her Custard Records label. Released in 2005,
Blunt's debut album, Back to Bedlam, and its hit single,
"You're Beautiful," was hugely successful -- it hit number
one in over a dozen countries, and sold over 10 million
copies worldwide. Blunt toured for much of 2005 and 2006,
then released the two-disc "odds and sods"
live/documentary album Chasing Time: The Bedlam Sessions
in 2006. He had been writing songs while on the road, and
brought Back to Bedlam producer Tom Rothrock in again to
record. (The songs featured writing collaborations with
Mark Batson, Jimmy Hogarth. Steve McEwan, and Max Martin,
while the recordings featured Blunt's live backing band.)
His sophomore effort, All the Lost Souls -- featuring the
lead-off single "1973" -- finally dropped in September
2007.
