Callum Beattie’s route is paved with empathy, a working class voice speaking with a profound truth and authenticity. It’s full of spirit. Honesty. What you see, is what you get. The songwriter started his journey more than a decade ago, and he’s done it the hard way – but, as he insists “It’s the only path worth a damn.”
Brought up in a working class, single-parent household on the fringes of Edinburgh, Callum Beattie quickly gravitated towards music. It made him incredibly rebellious and determined. Failure was just never an option.
_“You have to have emotion,”_ he says. _“That’s what music is – it’s about making somebody feel better about their life. And it’s also storytelling. They’re all stories, every song.”_ We all know things are really hard for everyone at the moment but let’s look at the positives and do positive things where we can. Callum and his manager Dave have raised over £1.1 million for charities over the last 4 years to help those in need.
