She grew up in the university town of St Andrew's ("beautiful but sheltered, a little bubble"), always knowing she had been adopted at birth. "I grew up knowing I could have had a million different lives. It makes your life mysterious and your imagination go wild."
Her debut album 'Eye To The Telescope' is the creative consequence of that inquiring imagination. "My songs examine and explore little specific emotions or situations or stories," she explains.
ilikemusic.com caught up with KT before the release of Other Side Of The World and her UK tour in May to talk festival plans, pedals and Princes.
ILM: Your new single, Other Side Of The World, out in May. Can you give us your own personal description of it?
KT: The song is inspired by a couple of really close friends of mine. The girl is American and the guy is from St Andrews in Scotland where I live. I met them years ago and they've been together for about six years but never lived in the same country. I made my way down to London and they came to visit me and they just decided that they couldn't be together anymore. I could see that they were completely in love with each other but neither was willing to sacrifice their lives, jobs and friends and there just wasn't enough love. I've been in long distance relationships myself, and everything to an extent is autobiographical when you're writing it, because it's your perspective of it. It's not recommended.
