James Blunt Live at Skywards Dubai International Jazz Festival 2009

CADILLAC PRESENTS SKYWARDS DUBAI INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL FEATURING THE CHART-TOPPER JAMES BLUNT WHO WILL GLAZE THE STAGE ON THE 25TH OF FEBRUARY 2009!

The scooper of Best Pop Act, Best British Male awards and Best New Artist and Biggest Selling British Artist in the World, with a three hit releases under his belt, and a sales record of 11 million CDs is to perform for the first time in UAE during the 7th edition of Skywards Dubai International Jazz Festival 2009 at Dubai Media City Outdoor Amphitheater for a hunger crowd! The festival will kick off on February 18th and ties up on the 27th of the same month with ore than 250 artists participating.

Described by Q Magazine as 'A major talent in waiting', James Blunt used to be a military captain, but he left the army in 2002 to concentrate on music full-time.

James Blunt is Britain’s latest easy-listening export. His hit songs “You’re Beautiful” and “Goodbye My Lover” from his debut Back to Bedlam were 2005’s deep-feeling favorites.

Singer/songwriter James Blunt is a thoughtful performer with a knack for crafting melodic contemporary soft rock tunes. His debut album, Back To Bedlam, and single releases — especially the number one hit “You’re Beautiful" — brought him to fame in 2005. His style is a mix of pop, folk and acoustic rock.

Along with vocals, James Blunt plays a wide variety of instruments including the piano, guitar, organ, marimba and mellotron. He became the first British artist to top the American singles chart in nearly a decade when his song "You're Beautiful" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2006. The last British artist to do so had been Elton John in 1997. Blunt won two Brit Awards and was nominated for five Grammy Awards in 2006.

The festival fans and friends will have the privilege to witness Blunt's great rhythms and tracks.

"the participation of James Blunt at the festival this year is long awaited by fans as well as for Chillout Productions! It will be a great attraction for a huge number of music lovers since it is his first appearance in UAE", says Anthony Younes, founder and organizer of the festival.

This popular music master with his rich and powerful performance will be the talk of town!
