USING HER VOICE
As her biggest hit turns 20 – and she celebrates her 50th – KT Tunstall is looking forward to a year to sing about
It’s hard to believe that KT Tunstall’s biggest hit, Suddenly I See, turns 20 this year. The Scottish singer-songwriter’s career exploded after the catchy tune featured on the soundtrack to hit 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, opening the door to worldwide fame.
The musical career of Kate Victoria Tunstall began when she started busking as a teen, going on to perform with various bands before releasing her debut album, the Mercury Music Prize-nominated Eye to the Telescope, in 2004.
Now based in the US and working on a forthcoming West End production of Clueless the Musical, the star, 49, talks to hello! about how she writes songs and how she plans to celebrate her 50th birthday.
