James Blunt
James Blunt is a British Musician who shot to fame with his debut album, “Back to Bedlam”, especially the song “You’re Beautiful”. Blunt recorded the album with producer Tom Rothrock, using session musicians and performing many of the instruments himself. While James was in Los Angeles, he stayed with actress Carrie Fisher, whom he was acquainted through the family of a former girlfriend. Fisher was extremely supportive of Blunt’s aspirations and suggested the name of the album and also provided the use of a bathroom in her house for the shooting of the song “Goodbye My Lover”. The third single” You’re Beautiful” was the smash hit of the album. The song debuted at 12th position in the UK charts and demonstrated an upward mobility, seldom seen in UK charts to land at number one position in six weeks.
James is an inherently shy and reserved person and finds the degree of interest that other people have on his personal life quite bizarre. He was quoted as saying “fame and celebrity is something that other people have constructed that I’m not party to”. Blunt has raised funds for Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), an organization that treats patients in conflict stricken areas around the world. He also supports environmental causes and screens the trailer of “An Inconvenient Truth” in his concerts; he also performed at Live Earth convert at Wembley Stadium, London.
