James Hillier Blount was born on 22 February 1974 in Tidworth, Wiltshire
ENGLAND. He came from a long line of army officers and at the age of 23,
Captain Blount was leading 30,000 British peacekeepers into Kosovo's war
zone.
After leaving the army in 2002 to become a full-time musician, his early
demos, showcasing his haunting voice and intimate songs, secured him management
and publishing deals within months. A meeting with producer and songwriter,
Linda Perry resulted in Blunt signing to her label, Custard Records.
In September 2003, singer+songwriter James Blunt entered a Los Angeles
studio to record his debut album, "Back To Bedlam". It broke
into the U.K. Top 40 Albums list in the early summer of 2005, eventually
reaching #1 and staying at the top of the chart for five weeks; the album
produced the massive smash "You're Beautiful" which soared to
#1 in Canada, Australia, Great Britain and several other European countries
and also peaked at #2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100; "Goodbye My
Lover" was another hit, cracking the top 10 of the U.K. Official
Singles chart. "Back To Bedlam" eventually climbed to the top
of the Australian, Canadian and U.S. Albums charts in early 2006.
James Blunt and his record label have announced the forthcoming release
of his eagerly awaited second album. The new CD is called "All The
Lost Souls" and will be released outside the U.S. on September 17
and in North America for following day.
The first single from the upcoming record is called "1973".
