Biography

James Hillier Blount, known as James Blunt all over the world, was born on February 22, 1974 in Britain into a family with long military history. That is why James's life was far from music and arts for many years. Under the guide of his father, a former Colonel, the guy was given a thorough military education in Britain's best facilities. After getting the rank of the Captain Blunt went to Kosovo as a NATO peacekeeping force officer. The young military man had a huge duty to care about: he had to command 30,000 soldiers, leading them to Pristina as the first British officer ever stepping into the Kosovan capital, and lifes of all those men depended on him. No wonder, under the influence of such events James started creating songs. As an excellent officer Blunt also got the honour to guard the coffin of the Queen Mother after her death in 2002. Soon after that Blunt left the army and for about a year he searched for something to do, and decided that the best alternative for a tank would be a guitar.
