Artist Biography Available in: Hi, I’m Calum Bowie, a singer-songwriter based in Edinburgh. Although I’m originally from a town called Banchory, near Aberdeen. I always grew up around music because my dad constantly had tunes blaring around the house, so it was something I was into from a very young age. I first picked up a guitar when I was about eight. It was my dad’s horrendous electric guitar (the brand was literally called Electric Guitar) and I learned a couple of three chord songs. After a while my dad told me that if I could play Breakfast at Tiffany’s, then he would buy me my own guitar. So, I spent a few weeks perfecting that song before I was gifted my own electric guitar. I’ve been writing songs (albeit not amazing ones) since I was about 12 and only really started taking my music more seriously when I was around 15/16. I released my first song when I was 15 and that’s when I knew that I wanted to pursue music.
