Calum Scott is an English musician active since 2013. His career started with a win on a talent competition for a regional newspaper. Afterwards he joined a Maroon 5 tribute band and toured around the UK. By 2014 he formed a new duo along with John McIntyre called The Experiment, releasing their debut single the same year before the group broke up. In 2015 both he and his sister auditioned for Britain's Got Talent. His sister went first and was fully rejected by the judges, but Calum received not only a standing ovation, but a golden buzzer from Simon Cowell. He came in sixth overall. After the show he released his cover of his audition song independently in 2016 and it slowly rose to fame. He then signed with a label and did a number of TV spots, then teamed up with Brazilian artist Ivete Sangalo for a single that became the official song for the Summer Paralympics in 2016. He released another single in 2017, followed by his debut album in 2018. In 2020 he did a musical documentary following the making of his next album. Then in 2021 he released three EPs and a couple singles leading up to the release of his second album in 2022. I've featured him before and I really enjoy his stuff so I hope you do too.

Peace.
