About

James Blunt is a British singer-songwriter who was born on February 22, 1974 in Tidworth, England. He is best known for the hit songs “You’re Beautiful” and “Goodbye My Lover”. Blunt grew up in a military family and attended Elstree School in Woolhampton. He then joined the Royal Militia Academy at Sandhurst where he graduated and became an officer of the British Army.

In 1999, Blunt signed with EMI Music Publishing and released his debut album Back to Bedlam in 2004. The album spawned the singles “You're Beautiful” and “Goodbye My Lover” which both topped the charts in multiple countries around the world. His other singles include “High”, “Wisemen”, “1973”, and “Stay the Night” among others. The album earned him two Grammy nominations as well as numerous awards around the world including Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2006 Grammy Awards and British Single of the Year at BRIT Awards in 2006.

In 2007, Blunt released his sophomore album All The Lost Souls which featured singles such as “1973”, “Same Mistake” and “Carry You Home". This was followed by his third studio album Some Kind of Trouble in 2010. Blunt has since released three more albums titled Moon Landing (2013), The Afterlove (2017) and Once Upon a Mind (2019).

He has collaborated with several artists including Taylor Swift (on her song "Both of Us"), Ed Sheeran ("Make It Rain") and OneRepublic ("No Vacancy"). Additionally, he has made appearances on TV shows like Conan O'Brien's show and Saturday Night Live.
