Kate “KT” Tunstall (born 23 June 1975, Edinburgh) is a Scottish singer-songwriter from Fife. Her mother is of partial Chinese descent, and her father Irish. She was raised by adoptive parents, scientists who did not own a television or stereo, as they believed it would interfere with her congenitally deaf adoptive brother’s hearing aid. In her twenties she met her birth mother, who told her that her natural father was a folk musician, long after she had chosen that route herself.

Her nickname, “KT”, is a play on “Katie”. While a student at Royal Holloway, University of London she performed on an acoustic guitar in a student bar, under the name “Katie”. Her style of music varies from the folk genre to the more pop genre.

How I met KT Tunstall

by yanne — 8 months ago

I went to interview KT for her new LP ‘Drastic Fantastic’ and she was lovely… very sweet woman and she offered to call my gf who is a huge fan in Canada… so that was very sweet of her indeed. Actually the magazine ended up being the front cover… so I’m very chuffed as it was the first article I wrote for that publication… ;)
rock and reel magazine.. Nov/Dec 07 if you’re a fan..
