KT TUNSTALL
Fife-raised KT burst onto the music scene with her 2004 multi-platinum debut, Eye to the Telescope and the global hits ‘Black Horse and the Cherry Tree’ and ‘Suddenly I See’. Her latest trilogy of records, 2016’s KIN, 2018’s WAX and 2022’s NUT each zeroed in on a single concept – soul, body, and mind – and cemented her as one of the most exciting contemporary songwriters of her time. A move into writing for musical theatre has seen her work as composer on an adaptation of the 1995 cult classic movie Clueless.
