Early life

Blunt was born at a military hospital in Tidworth, Wiltshire, England, the first child born to Jane and Charles Blount. Blunt spent his early childhood living in England, Cyprus, and Germany, where his father, a Colonel in the British Army Air Corps,[1] and military helicopter pilot, was posted at various times. He has two younger siblings. His father instilled in his son a love of flying, and Blunt earned his pilot's license at age 16. The Blount family has a long history of military service, dating to the 10th century.

At age seven, Blunt was enrolled at Elstree School, Woolhampton, then att

ended Harrow School (Elmfield House) on an army bursary. From Harrow School he gained an army-sponsored place at the University of Bristol, where he first studied Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering and then subsequently read Sociology.[2] He graduated with a BSc(Hons) in Sociology in 1996.

Blunt took piano and violin lessons as a child, but his first significant exposure to popular music was at Harrow School. There, he was introduced to the guitar by a fellow student, and started playing guitar and writing songs at age 14.


Blunt left the British Army in 2002 so that he could pursue his musical career. It was at about that time that he started using the stage name "Blunt", in part to make it easier for others to spell; "Blount" is pronounced the same way, and remains his legal surname. Shortly after leaving the Army, he was signed to EMI music publishers, and to Twenty-First Artists management

Personal life

Blunt says that he has become closer to his family since his musical success; his father manages his finances, and his mother arranged for the purchase of his principal residence in Ibiza, where Blunt has holidayed since he was a teenager. Blunt also owns a chalet in the Swiss town ofVerbier; in February 2007, he was named "godfather" of one of the town's new ski lift

Blunt was instrumental in introducing his sister to her eventual h

usband after offering her for "sale" on Ebay. She was having difficulty obtaining transport to a funeral in Ireland, and Blunt l

isted her as a "damsel in distress." The winner provided helicopter transportation. They subsequently began a relationship and eventually married.

The musician's social life has been the subject of significant commentary, particularly in the tabloid press; he is well known to enjoy nightclubbing and socializing with other celebrities. Blunt has, in the past, been romantically linked to Dixie Chassay, casting director for the Harry Potter films; Camilla Boler, musician and daughter of the late Stephen Boler; and supermodel Petra Nemcova. Blunt himself has found the degree of interest in his personal life to be bizarre, stating that "fame and celebrity is something that other people have constructed that I'm not really party to."

Evanescence!!



To make it simple let me take you all on a ride called D JOURNEY SO FAR......

Let me start wid my 1st eva fav. band EVANESCENCE...!

Evanescence is an American rock band founded in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody.

After recording two private EPs and a demo CD named Origin, with the help of Bigwig Enterprises in 2000, the band released their first full-length album, Fallen, on Wind-up Records in 2003. Fallen sold more than 15 million copies worldwide and helped the band win two Grammy Awards. A year later, Evanescence released their first live album, Anywhere but Home, which sold more than one million copies worldwide. In 2006, the band released their second studio album, The Open Door, which has sold more than four million copies.

The band has suffered departures, including co-founder Moody in 2003, and guitarist John LeCompt and drummer Rocky Gray in 2007. Lee is now the only original member of Evanescence remaining in the band.

Evanescence was founded by singer, pianist and songwriter Amy Lee and former lead guitarist and songwriter Ben Moody. The two met in 1994 at a youth camp in Little Rock, where Moody heard Lee playing "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meat Loaf on the piano. Their first songs together were "Solitude" and "Give Unto Me", both written by Lee, and "Understanding" and "My Immortal", both written by Moody. The songs were edited by both artists, and they shared equal credit.

STYLE!!!!
A precise definition for Evanescence's musical style is disputed. Their musical style is alternative rock and alternative metal influenced by varied genres such as gothic rock and metal, symphonic rock and metal, and piano and arena rock. More defined on Fallen than The Open Door, Evanescence also mixes in electronica with their sound by utilizing synthesizers and programming, which can be heard on various songs, especially "Haunted", "Tourniquet", "Going Under" and "Snow White Queen".

Let me give you my NUMERO UNO.........My IMMORTAL..

"My Immortal"
I'm so tired of being here
 Suppressed by all my childish fears
 And if you have to leave
 I wish that you would just leave
 'Cause your presence still lingers here
 And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
 This pain is just too real
 There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
 When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
 And I held your hand through all of these years
 But you still have
 All of me
You used to captivate me
 By your resonating light
 Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
 Your face it haunts
 My once pleasant dreams
 Your voice it chased away
 All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
 This pain is just too real
 There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
 When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
 And I held your hand through all of these years
 But you still have
 All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
 But though you're still with me
 I've been alone all along
