Rising soul-pop frontman and Hotpress’ New Local Hero 2025 winner, is carving out a chic-sleaze space in Ireland’s music scene. With a seductive vocal tone and a knack for weaving intricately catchy pop melodies through soulful, jazz-leaning arrangements, Calum lands somewhere between Amy Winehouse, Joy Crookes, and RAYE but with a vision and direction unmistakably his own, and unlike anything else in Ireland right now.
Composing and directing a full 7-piece band in his signature thrifted pinstripe suit, Calum brings an unapologetic mod-meets-modern energy to both his music and his live shows. There’s a mischievous charm to it all, theatrical, a bit glam, but rooted in raw, soulful vulnerability.
With 1,000+ radio plays and over 6 million impacts across just two singles (Never and Anymore), Calum is now building toward a full debut EP coming out in February 2026.
