Callum Beattie

Visiting Professor

Edinburgh-born, London-based Callum Beattie is the singer-songwriter whose music can be described as anthemic dreaminess as each song he creates carries romanticism and truth wherever they go. From his humble beginnings back in Edinburgh, Scotland through discovering his passion for music and the pub karaoke nights with his dad all the way to the Glasto main stage – a dream still to be lived but not far off from possible; Callum dreams while working hard to see his dreams becoming a reality. His unique personality and authenticity are captivating to a whole new level as the young musician manages to hook us not only with his music but his beautiful accent and charisma.

Beattie is the epitome of artistry and talent, combining sound and lyric in a humble, powerful and truthful way. He writes and sings about the things we all feel and experience while being unafraid to look vulnerable before his audience. Callum’s ‘Some Heroes Don’t Wear Capes’ and ‘We Are Stars’ are just two perfect examples and representations of who he is both as a person and artist. With his latest single, ‘Without You’ fresh off the studio, we catch up with Callum to find out more about his upbringing, his childhood inspirations, his relationship with his dad, and what moves him as an artist.
