KT Tunstall is a worldwide known rocker, with one of the most commanding, heart-melting, clean yet alluringly gritty voices.
By her mid-teens, KT had started writing her own songs, “but I was just coming out with this schmaltzy love nonsense.” Hungry for new experiences and independence, she earned a scholarship to Kent School in Connecticut where she also formed her first band, The Happy Campers, and played a host of informal gigs.
KT soon returned to St. Andrews and became immersed in the grassroots scene and began honing her musical tastes with an ambrosial diet of James Brown, Lou Reed, Billie Holliday, Johnny Cash and PJ Harvey.
