Eye To The Telescope


KT (a play on her name "Katie") Tunstall (born 23 June 1975) is a singer-songwriter of Irish-Chinese decent born in Edinburgh.

KT grew up in a home where there was no television or stereo because it interfered with her hearing impaired younger brother's hearing aid. Although adopted, she met her natural mother in her twenties and was told that her natural father was a folk musician - long after she had chosen her path to become a musician herself. "Its in the genes", some would say.

Trivia aside, her album "Eye To The Telescope" has some excellent tracks. The good stuff include "Other Side Of The World", "Under The Weather", "Black Horse And The Cherry Tree" and "Suddenly I See". "Other Side Of The World" was used in an episode of Grey's Anatomy while Katherine McPhee, finalist on American Idol Season 5, sang "Black Horse And The Cherry Tree" during Billboard Week.

If you enjoy the music of Dido, you'll definitely enjoy KT Tunstall's work. But don't tell KT that. I read that KT had once bashed Dido openly about the latter's singing talent but in all fairness, KT later apologised.
