Biography

    
Growing up in 80s Glasgow there was a phenomenal music scene....   listening to bands like the Blue Nile, Orange juice and Aztec Camera only served to fuel my creativity
By day I am a gardener but the rest of the time I write record and work on my music, the early days I started like most folk in a covers band working towards performing in some grassroots venues like The cathouse. Fury Murry's and the target bar.

Fronting bands such as Distant Daze, Bonafide, Company of strangers and more recently Strangetouch I found that singing covers were not enough for me so I set about learning how to write.

Taking influences from all the music I love I have taught myself to transfer my feelings and thoughts into words and music, I have been lucky enough to perform on some of Glasgow's top stages from the Kings Theatre to The Glasgow Hydro, The first male soloist to perform on the Hydro stage.

One of my proudest achievements was performing in the People make Glasgow video and live performance at the opening ceremony of Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth games,  a capacity crowd of 65 thousand on the night and an estimated worldwide TV audience of 1.5 billion adding Amy MacDonald and Rod Stewart to my CV as co-performers was quite a thing.

In 2013 after I released my debut album Voices I teamed up with James Davidson a talented guitarist who has played with various bands over the years to form McCallum and Davidson and we are currently working on our first album together.

Over the last year I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease this has had a major impact on my guitar playing but I am undaunted and will be continuing with the production of our album.
