James Blunt has two younger siblings. His father instilled in him a love of flying, and he earned his pilot’s licence at age 16. Blunt was educated at two independent schools: at the age of seven, he was enrolled at Elstree School in Woolhampton in Berkshire, before continuing to Harrow School in Harrow on the Hill in north-west London (Elmfield House) on an army bursary. James stated on an interview in his Back to Bedlam sessions that he chose to join the military as “his Father was pushing for it, so that Blunt could obtain a secure work placement and income”. A keen skier, Blunt captained the Household Cavalry Alpine Ski Team in Verbier, Switzerland, eventually becoming champion skier of the entire Royal Armoured Corps. Blunt took piano and violin lessons as a child, but his first significant exposure to popular music was at Harrow School. Back to Bedlam was finally released in the UK in October 2004. Blunt’s debut single in the UK was “High” (co-written with Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue).
