Ed Blunt is a multi-instrumentalist storyteller whose songs will make you laugh and gently break your heart.
Blending folk, jazz and roots with Randy Newman-esque humour, his lyrics hold a mirror to 21st-century life—from swiping right for love to dreaming on the 7:38 to Victoria.
Describing his songs as “finding the little nuggets of magic in everyday life," his endearing presence and unfiltered authenticity have earned him a devoted following.
Born in the Surrey Hills, Ed grew up surrounded by the sounds of Paul Simon, James Taylor, and John Martyn. His talent for playing by ear led him to study jazz piano at the Guildhall School, but on graduation he was left with crippling stage fright.
Stumbling on an online song-writing camp during the Covid lockdown proved to be a turning point. Mentor Chris Difford discovered his talent for the first time, calling him a "quiet genius.”
Since then, Ed has released two acclaimed albums under his own name, Over The Moon (2022) and Grown Up (2024) and has collaborated with artists including Tom Odell, Beth Nielsen Chapman and Jamie Lawson.
With an ability to capture the essence of human experience through his poignant humour and sharp social commentary, Ed Blunt’s music resonates with universal appeal, leaving a mark on the hearts and minds of his listeners.
