The BRIT Award-winning singer is coming to Birmingham City University on Wednesday, March 20, in an event to mark the opening of The Songwriting Studies Research Network, a two-year project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, which will help to unite scholars, industry workers and practitioners for the exchange of ideas on songwriting.

Known for her hits Suddenly I See and Other Side Of The World, the 43-year-old will discuss how she approaches the songwriting process as well as demonstrating how she wrote some of her biggest hits.

Born in Scotland, KT Tunstall shot to fame in 2004 and has gone on to release six albums internationally.

During her visit to Birmingham she will be interviewed by Dr Simon Barber, Research Fellow at Birmingham City University’s Centre for Media and Cultural Research, and his collaborator Brian O’Connor, for their Sodajerker On Songwriting podcast.

Since its launch in 2011, the podcast has released over 130 episodes featuring in-depth discussions with the likes of Alicia Keys, Paul McCartney and Noel Gallagher.
