United Talent Agency has signed Scottish singer-songwriter KT Tunstall for worldwide representation excluding North America, with agent Sarah Casey overseeing live touring and brand partnerships. The deal builds on a busy global run for Tunstall, who has racked up over seven million record sales to date.
Tunstall is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her 2005 debut Eye to the Telescope, the record that produced “Suddenly I See,” famously featured in The Devil Wears Prada and the song that won her the 2006 Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist and a Grammy nomination.
This May, she embarks on a full-band anniversary headline tour of Australia and New Zealand, and will serve as special guest to Brandi Carlile on her UK and European arena run.
Off the road, Tunstall has been expanding into theatre. Her original score for the Clueless stage musical opened in London’s West End in February 2025 and tours in 2026. She is also writing music and lyrics for new musical The Singer, set to launch at the Edinburgh Festival this July.
UTA, who recently extended their live music roster with signings like Eve for worldwide representation and electronic artist Trym for US representation, adds Tunstall to a growing international live touring division.
Tunstall retains Paladin Artists for North American representation (live music / touring) and United Agents for UK representation (film /TV). She recently signed with The Feldman Agency for representation in Canada.
On the management side, she remains with Shelter Music Group while DWL Music PR continues handling her publicity.
Takeaways
This signing tells a story that goes beyond a routine agency deal. KT Tunstall is not coasting, she is actively expanding on multiple fronts simultaneously: a major anniversary touring cycle, a West End musical credit, and now a new musical in development.
UTA picking her up for worldwide touring (excluding North America) at this exact moment signals that her global live demand is real and rising, not retrospective.
The territory structure here is also worth noting. Keeping Paladin Artists and The Feldman Agency in place for North America and Canada shows deliberate, market-by-market relationship management.
This isn’t an artist switching ships wholesale, it’s a strategic layering of global reach. UTA gets the rest of the world just as she is about to play arenas across the UK and Europe alongside one of the biggest names in Americana. The timing is sharp.
With UTA also handling brand partnerships, could a major sync deal or brand campaign be on the horizon for KT, especially with the Devil Wears Prada anniversary nostalgia cycle in full swing? Does her expanding theatre portfolio (Clueless, The Singer) signal a longer-term pivot toward musical theatre, and how will that reshape her live touring identity?
