KT's latest body of work is a trilogy of albums following the themes of soul, body and mind. Released in 2016, the first album, KIN, covers the theme of the soul and received rave reviews. The second album in the trilogy, WAX, was released in October 2018 and focuses on the body and our complex relationship with physicality. WAX was featured on Spotify's New
Music Friday playlist in a dozen countries worldwide, receiving critical acclaim from both national publications and specialist music outlets in both the UK and USA.
Recently, KT has been awarded the Inspirational Artist gong at the Women In
Music Awards. She was chosen as the first ever female Grand Marshal (following the likes of Sir Sean Connery) to lead April's annual New York Tartan Week parade. In May 2018, she and Mike McCready, of legendary multimillion-selling band
Pearl Jam, also released a cover of Tom Petty's huge hit single, "
I Won't Back Down" with proceeds going to
Pearl Jam's Vitalogy Foundation.
KT is set to perform across the UK in
Spring 2019 with an all-female band. For more details visit: www.kttunstall.com
