Read the Callum Curley Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Callum Curley and I am a 15 year old producer from the UK. I started producing around 3 and a half years ago, starting with progressive house and just basic tracks. Now I mostly produce future house and future bounce, with some big room house sometimes also. I have had one track actually get signed to a label before, which was 'Tomb', published by MF Records, a unique big room house track. In the future I hope to break into the future house scene and get noticed by some big names and make some contacts in the EDM scene.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Calvin Harris first inspired me to start making music, and the first year of making songs was all about learning and developing my own style of music. After that I got heavily influenced by Martin Garrix, and still am, although my main influences have definitely changed over the past 2 years. Oliver Heldens kick-started my interest in future house, and I now get inspired by artists like Brooks, Mike Williams and Mesto. Going into more detail, some of my more recent projects are inspired by artists such as Jordi Rivera, Sonny Bass, Ellis and Beau Collins.
What´s new right now?
I am currently a small artist so I don't play live or anything, although I have many unreleased tracks and some big things coming up this year.
