She immediately set off to try everything she had learned as she entered Whltshire Studio with minimal instruments in tow and Steve Osborne (U2, New Order) at the controls. She gave the life to her banging and breakthrough debut album in 2004, Eye to the Telescope.
The album served more fortuitous later when a performance of her single Black Horse and the Cherry Tree on Later… with Jools Holland became a crowd-attractive performance. The album was later certified multiplatinum and sold millions of copies worldwide while also bringing in several awards and honors with nominations for KT.
But her overnight career success didn’t sit well with her as she went on to ‘self-sabotage’ her own career in an interview with the Big Issue Magazine in early 2021. She said that she disliked the fame that came with the gig:
“Everybody hanging on tenterhooks waiting to see where the next album is going to chart. Being told I couldn’t delay my second record because it was going to make somebody’s share prices drop. That’s not what I wanted."
While she explained how she wanted to re-live her Brits Awards moment back in 2006, which she celebrated with her late father and mother.

Her singles and EPs include False Alarm EP, Throw Me A Rope, Under the Weather, Suddenly I See, Another Place to Fall, Saving My Face, and much more.
Additionally, she often tours in several countries with her albums, songs, and EPs.
Who Is KT Tunstall Husband? Relationship Details
KT Tunstall was previously married to Luke Bullen. Unfortunately with several causes led the pair to divorce in less than five years of marriage.
The pair was already staying apart since “August/September” of 2012 before their divorce in early 2013, as reported by the spokesperson for the singer to DailyReocrd.co.uk.
With the findings of the tabloids of their divorce, the publication later connected to the court where they found that Luke had petitioned for divorce on the grounds of KT’s “unreasonable behavior.”
The judge held that KT had “behaved so that Luke could not “reasonably be expected” to live with her, and concluded with the judge ordering her to pay the costs of Luke’s application.
The pair hit off well after first linking when Luke was a drummer in KT’s backing band. They got engaged on Christmas Day in 2007. The couple tied the knot on the Isle of Skye in September 2008, as 150 friends and family attended the ceremony.

Later, they stayed on the four-star Flodigarry Country House Hotel set amid the island’s stunning natural scenery for a five-day celebration of their wedding. Later, the attendants enjoyed their time on the couple’s big day with live music with ‘80s hits, traditional country dancing, and Scottish folk music.
But the romance between them didn’t last long, and it was not long enough for her to find her new love, which she revealed back in the year 2016 before the release of her album KIN. Although she talked about her new love to be not part of a big personality, she didn’t reveal much more information than that.
Moreover, she also opened up about not having any kids as she has no plan to settle down anytime soon in her music career.
During an interview in the November of 2018, KT also opened up about her sexuality, saying that she has “never considered myself a locked-down straight person,” and said about her having “relationships with girls.”
While talking about her time in the Scottish Youth Theatre, she said that it “was weird if you didn’t get off with everybody” there.
