BIGGEST UK & IRELAND HEADLINE TOUR, FEB / MARCH 2025
Rising Scottish singer-songwriter CALUM BOWIE has today (Jan 17th) shared new single ‘Dream Of My Own’ alongside news of his eagerly awaited debut EP, ‘Through The Window’. After a remarkable 2024 which saw him crowned ‘Breakthrough Artist’ at the Scottish Music Awards, a title previously awarded to the likes of Paolo Nutini, Lewis Capaldi and Emeli Sande, and chalk up his Glastonbury debut alongside a slate of sold out shows in the UK, Ireland and Europe, the Banchory, Aberdeenshire-born artist shows no signs of slowing down his rapid ascent.
‘Dream Of My Own’ is a stirring, stripped-down acoustic ballad that builds around Calum’s yearning vocals and gently swelling strings. A contemplative coming-of-age singalong that sees the 24-year-old take stock of his life and journey so far, it’s the perfect introduction to Calum’s deft songwriting and his effortless way with a rousing melody.
“This is such a personal song for me. It’s me really opening up about how I feel chasing this dream sometimes. I talk about events throughout my life and how they play into my music,” Calum says. “It’s probably the most stripped back I’ve ever been on a record so it’s quite nerve racking showing that vulnerability to everyone. I’ve been playing it live on tour and people seem to really resonate with the lyrics. Excited to share this side of me.”
Calum Bowie’s path has seen him swap TikTok virality for IRL acclaim. As a student in Edinburgh during COVID, his viral cover videos – recorded from his bedroom window – connected with an audience of millions. Now, with more than 100 million views on TikTok and 5 million global streams, Calum is ready to make the world his own. He has played triumphant sets at The Great Escape and TRNSMT, Boardmasters and Glastonbury, all while staying true to his core values. A string of releases, including live favourite Love Lost, have been championed by Radio 1’s Future Pop, Future Alternative, and Future Artist shows. Opening for the likes of Dylan Gossett, Arthur Hill and Myles Smith last year, and with his biggest UK & Ireland headline tour kicking off in February – and already close to selling out – word is already out on this charismatic new singer-songwriter and the energy he brings to his live shows, where audiences sing every song back word-for-word.
With his conversational lyrical style and boy-next-door charm, Calum sweeps you up into his world. His new EP ‘Through The Window’ is a soaring triumph, with each song acting as a point of connection between his heart and yours. “Mostly, I write from experience. The EP is really personal. That’s why it’s called ‘Through The Window’ – it’s a play on words of my TikTok persona, but it’s also about me being the observer. The eyes are the window to the soul, after all.”
“It’s me. It’s my life. This is everything I’ve experienced. I’ve had lots of ups and downs – not in music, but just in personal life and lots of hard moments – and those stories are the thread that ties it all together.”
