Callum Kerr is a 21-year-old Scottish musician who has become a viral sensation on TikTok. With over 1.2 million followers and 10.2 million likes on the platform – and over 118k monthly listeners on Spotify – Callum is famed for his flawless covers of some of the biggest songs in the world, including tracks by Adele, Ed Sheeran, and Lewis Capaldi.
Collaborations with global stars
In March 2023, Callum was personally invited by Ed Sheeran’s team to support him for four dates on his Mathematics tour at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro. The pair had originally connected during the Covid-19 pandemic when Callum shared a TikTok video of him singing the chorus of Ed’s hit Afterglow. He later received a message from the Thinking Out Loud singer on Instagram, who told him he was a “brilliant” singer. The rest, as they say, is history.
Viral success
Callum, who is from Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, and is currently studying Popular Music at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, explained that he first joined TikTok during lockdown. During that time, he spent his days practicing singing and playing guitar in his bedroom, and eventually mustered up the courage to share his covers on the social media platform. Callum’s unique talent quickly caught people’s attention, and he soon began to amass followers and likes.
“I never imagined that I would go viral on TikTok,” Callum said. “It’s been such a surreal experience. I’ve always loved music, and I’m so grateful that I’m able to share my music with so many people.”
Musical influences
Callum cites a wide range of musical influences, including Ed Sheeran, Lewis Capaldi, and Adele. He is also a huge fan of classic soul and R&B artists such as Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin.
Callum’s music is characterized by soaring vocals, catchy melodies, and heartfelt lyrics. He is a natural storyteller, and his songs have a way of connecting with people on a deep level.
Future plans
Callum is currently working on his debut album, which is set to be released later this year. He is also planning to tour extensively in 2023.
“I’m so excited for the future,” Callum said. “I want to continue to share my music with the world, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
