It has to be the recording that unknowingly introduced me to the Academy at a wee young age  – Amadeus!

Callum found a love for music at a young age, when he learned piano and saxophone, and played with others in jazz bands and choirs.

He now works with a variety of arts organisations, helping them use what they do to make a bigger difference.
