Description
Callum Pitt's indie - folk music is deeply inspired by the raw and honest styles of artists such as Elliott Smith, Julien Baker, Adrianne Lenker, and Sufjan Stevens. He combines grand orchestral and chamber pop sensibilities with an alt - rock edge in his music. Even though he often uses music as a platform to openly talk about depression, anxiety, and political unrest, his songs are filled with optimism, unity, warmth, and honesty.
This debut album, In The Balance, traces back to a fateful night in 2019. Just minutes after Pitt waved goodbye to his brother and parents, a fire engine hit the back of their car. Thankfully, they were unharmed. But a split - second difference could have led to a tragic outcome.
28 - year - old Pitt has spent a decade honing his craft, starting in the Newcastle pub scene and gradually perfecting his thoughtful and poetic songwriting. He won the Alan Hull Award for songwriters in 2019 and the Fender Player Plus competition in 2021. Alongside his music career, he's studying for a master's in Occupational Therapy and has worked with people with disabilities. These experiences have shaped In The Balance, his first major work, highlighting the cathartic and unifying power of music.
In The Balance is an amazing debut that showcases Pitt's vision and talent. On stage, he aims to use his music to support up - and - coming songwriters, emphasizing accessibility and inclusivity. The warmth of the North East music scene is reflected in this album, where connections in a chaotic world feel like miracles.
