As his education was sponsored by the Army, James Blunt was legally bound to join the defense forces for a minimum of four years. Commissioned in the Life Guards, he soon ascended the ladder and was made the Captain.

In 1999, he became part of the NATO deployment in Kosovo as an armored reconnaissance officer. An enthusiastic skier, he eventually became the best skier of the entire ‘Royal Armored Corps’.
When he was still serving in the armed forces, he recorded a demo. One of his friends asked him to forward the demo to Todd Interland who was Elton John’s manager.

The track ‘Goodbye My Lover’ impressed Interland. After six years of service, he resigned from the British Army in 2002 to accomplish his musical dreams and adopted an easier-to-spell stage name Blunt. Though he was signed with EMI music publishers, he was struggling to earn himself a record contract.

In 2003, he grabbed the attention of the American musician, Linda Perry, through his promotional tape when she was touring London. This brought about a much-expected turn in Blunt’s career and he soon signed a recording contract with Linda.

The year 2003, proved significant to Blunt’s career and he came out with his debut album ‘Back to Bedlam’. Produced in association with Tom Rothrock, the album was recorded at Rothrock’s Los Angeles home studio.

His most successful single release to date, ‘You’re Beautiful’, catapulted him to the limelight as part of the ‘Back to Bedlam’ album. It peaked at no. 1 on pop charts in several countries including Britain, the United States, Spain, Canada, and the Netherlands.

In 2007, he released the album, ‘All the Lost Souls’ which helped him develop a fan base that included the hit singles ‘1973’, ‘Same Mistake’, ‘Carry You Home’,’ I Really Want You, ‘Love, Love, Love’ and ‘It Is My Song”.

‘Some Kind of Trouble’, his third studio album, released in 2010, however, failed to reiterate his previous grand success and received mixed reviews from the music critics. It debuted at no. 4 on the UK Albums Chart, and at no. 11 on the Billboard 200. The album included singles such as, ’Stay the Night’ and ‘If Time Is All I Have’. It was praised as “a move toward love songs free of pretension” by ‘Allmusic’.

‘Moon Landing’, his latest album was released in 2013. Its first single ‘Bonfire Heart’ reached no. 4 in the UK Singles Chart within a couple of weeks of its release. It is also featured on music charts of several countries all over the world.
