Kate "KT" Tunstall is a Scottish singer and songwriter. She broke into the public eye with a performance of her song "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" on Later with Jools Holland. She has enjoyed commercial and critical success since, selling over four million albums and picking up three BRIT Awards and two Grammy nominations.

While her first name is Kate, she chose to go by KT as her first name, saying "[Kate] just makes me think of a buxom lass baking bread for her man working in the fields. I have no problem with that, but it's just not really how I pictured being a rock star."

Tunstall is known for her live performances, in which she combines use of a loop pedal (an AKAI E2 Headrush, which she affectionately calls "Wee Bastard,") with a full four-piece backing band.
