Calum Hood of 5 Seconds of Summer walks through the story of his incredible career, from nearly turning down a tour with One Direction to the voice note that became their biggest hit, “Youngblood.”

In this in-depth interview, Calum Hood discusses the pressures of fame, playing iconic venues like The Royal Albert Hall, and the creative journey to finding his own sound with his debut solo album, ORDER chaos ORDER.

This is a must-watch for any member of the 5SOS Fam or fan of modern pop-rock.

He’s now releasing music under his own name. Calum’s debut solo album ORDER chaos ORDER is out, led by the singles “Don’t Forget You Love Me” (video by Andy DeLuca) and “Call Me When You Know Better,” with a palette that leans new wave/synth-pop/shoegaze alongside producer Jackson Phillips (Day Wave). If you’ve followed 5SOS from school halls to arenas, this is really the next page.
