Calum Scott

Calum Scott is in the kitchen! Join Jonathan and Anthony as they sit down with the chart-topping British singer-songwriter whose soaring vocals and deeply emotional storytelling have made him a global favorite. Calum reflects on his journey from working a regular job in England and auditioning for Britain’s Got Talent to building an international career with massive hits like “Dancing On My Own,” “You Are The Reason,” and “Where Are You Now.” He opens up about the vulnerability behind his music, the pressure and gratitude that came with success, and how embracing honesty in both his songwriting and personal life transformed the way he connects with audiences around the world. Along the way, Calum shares stories from life on tour, collaborating with artists across genres, and finding balance between ambition, heartbreak, and joy while continuing to create music that feels timeless, intimate, and universally human.
