Best Answer

To make it easier for his fans to spell and recognise.

Blount is pronounced the same as Blunt. When James was serving in the military, people often misspelt his name as "Blunt".

So when he left the military, he changed his stage name to "Blunt". However, "Blount" is still his legal name.
