About James Blunt
James Blunt is a British musician and a rising star whose debut album, Back To Bedlam, and single releases — especially number one hit "You're Beautiful" — brought him to fame in 2005.
Along with vocals, Blunt plays a wide variety of instruments including the piano, guitar, organ, marimba, and
mellotron.
His style is a mix of jazz and Northern soul, and comparisons have been made between him and early Elton John, but James Blunt has earned raved reviews with his versatile
sound
He is signed to Linda Perry's American label Custard, and became the first British artist to top the American singles chart in nearly a decade when his song "You're Beautiful" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. The last British artist to do so had been Elton John in 1997.
Blunt has performed numerous television and radio appearances throughout the UK, Europe, North America and Australia. On 3 December 2005, he was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. His music has been featured on television
programs throughout the world.
He made his acting debut on the (US) ABC Family Channel program Wildfire, first aired on January 30, 2006. He also appeared in episode 103 of the CBS comedy Love Monkey (original air date February 7, 2006) . He was interviewed and performed "You're Beautiful" and "Goodbye My Lover" on the Oprah Winfrey Show on March 8, 2006 (taped on February 21, 2006).
He stated on Oprah that "You're Beautiful" is based on a true story when he saw his ex-girlfriend at a subway station with another man. Blunt also sings a cover of Australian/New Zealand band Crowded House's hit Fall At Your Feet, which was played at several points during a recent episode of US teen drama The OC. If
you have never seen James Blunt LIVE then you don't want to
miss him. With hits like "Wisemen" and "You're
Beautiful" he is quickly becoming a household name.
