Biography: Calum Scott is a British singer and songwriter. He is best known for his breakthrough performance on Britain's Got Talent and his hit single "Dancing on My Own." Following his appearance on the talent show, Scott embarked on a successful music career.

Scott won the local competition, Mail's Star Search, before joining a Maroon 5 tribute band. He later formed The Experiment and released "Girl (You're Beautiful)" in 2014. His career took a turn after he auditioned for Britain's Got Talent in 2015. Following an audition that secured Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer, Scott's rendition of "Dancing on My Own" led to widespread recognition.

After Britain's Got Talent, Scott independently released his cover of "Dancing on My Own" in 2016, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart. He signed with Capitol Records and released the song "Transformar" for the 2016 Summer Paralympics. His debut album, Only Human, was released in 2018 and featured the collaboration "You Are the Reason" with Leona Lewis, and the single "No Matter What."

Scott released his second album Bridges in 2022 and had a top 10 UK hit with Lost Frequencies on "Where Are You Now." He continued to release singles from Bridges, and in early 2023, he collaborated with Jax Jones on "Whistle" and performed at the BAFTA Film Awards. He later released "At Your Worst" in August 2023 and was announced as the headliner for a music festival for August 2024.
