Along with his extensive studio engineering work, Callum’s experience with live engineering has allowed him to work with a diverse range of artists both around Australia and overseas, including the USA and Asia. Some of the artists he has toured with include: Big Scary, Vance Joy, Courtney Barnet, Saskwatch, British India, The Cat Empire, Dan Auerbach, Dorsal Fins, & Fraser A Gorman to name a few….
Exposure to such a vast range of musicians and musical styles over the years both in the studio and live setting has allowed Callum to hone his ear and production techniques to consistently produce an impressive, unique and identifiable sound. In addition to this, Callum’s professionalism, strong work ethic and ability to deliver a polished and considered sound for artists time and time again, is testament to why this engineer’s diary has limited free space throughout the year.
Callum has an Advanced Diploma in Music Industry (Technical Production) from RMIT, graduating in 2005.
