b. Kate Tunstall, 23 May 1975, Edinburgh, Scotland. Of mixed Chinese/Scottish heritage, singer-songwriter Tunstall grew up as an adopted child in the laidback Scottish university town of St. Andrews. She learned to play piano, flute and guitar as a teenager before gaining a scholarship to Kent School in Connecticut. While in the USA Tunstall played with a band called the Happy Campers before returning to the UK to attend a music course at Royal Holloway College in London. She then moved back to St. Andrews where she immersed herself in the local independent music scene. During this period she worked with members of the Fence Collective, an umbrella title for an ad hoc group of musicians united by their preference for a style of music loosely dubbed alt folk. Tunstall moved to Edinburgh to work with the band Red Light Stylus but lack of opportunities saw her returning to London where she signed a solo publishing contract with Sony and later a recording contract with Relentless Records.
