KT Tunstall interview w/ Mirissa Neff | Sound Tracks Quick Hits | PBS

Filmed for the Sound Tracks: Quick Hits series by the Talbot Players in association with PBS Arts ( / soundtrackstv .
For nearly a decade, KT Tunstall was a scruffy busker, singing on the streets and on the pub circuit in England and Scotland. And then, there was that moment, a fluke really, when the rapper Nas dropped out of a London TV appearance and Tunstall was his last-minute replacement. Her 2004 television debut on the BBC's "Later...with Jools Holland" made her an overnight sensation -- a strange (but welcome) feeling for someone who had been slogging away in obscurity.
Tunstall opens up to Sound Tracks "Quick Hits" reporter Mirissa Neff about the rocket ride of success and her own doubts and feelings of vulnerability in this era of hard times.

Thanks for posting a terrific interview. KT reveals herself to be a genuine, charming and utterly adorable person. She glows with a certain innocence that is quite alluring in its subtlety. I wish her much continued success.

She's such a kind-hearted woman. I need a woman like this in my life.

The first time that I saw K T was on the "Palladia" music channel off of Time Warner Cable. She was doing some big music festival that was back in 2009 or 2010, I believe, in Scotland somewhere, I think. She was so great-kinda of raw and gritty, but she had such amazing charisma onstage! You could REALLY tell she loves what she does because the crowd was SO into her! Just incredible!

Couldn't agree more!
