Callum Burrows (born 30 March 1995), known professionally as Saint Raymond, is a singer-songwriter from Nottingham.[1][2] He has released one album, three EPs and a number of singles.[3]

Career

Burrows grew up in Bramcote, Nottingham. He took the 'Saint Raymond' moniker from the street that he grew up on and his grandfather's name.[4] He began his career playing small gigs and open mic nights around Nottingham before gaining popularity in 2013 when he released his self penned, debut extended play "Escapade" on Gabrielle Aplin's Never Fade Records. It featured heavily in the iTunes album chart upon its release and the lead track "Fall At Your Feet" was promoted as iTunes Single of the Week.[5]

Burrows received early support from BBC Introducing and after a successful slot on the BBC Introducing Stage at Reading and Leeds Festival in August 2013, it was announced that Burrows had signed a major record deal with Asylum Records.[6][7]

Burrows embarked on a headline tour in the UK and Ireland in September 2013 before announcing in October that he would be supporting Californian girl band Haim on their sold out UK and European tour in December.[8]

In January 2014, Burrows released his second EP "Young Blood" on indie label National Anthem.[9] The title track featured as Zane Lowe’s "Hottest Record in The World".[10] Burrows was also invited to perform a live session in Maida Vale Studios for BBC Radio 1 and Zane Lowe in January 2014.[11][12]

On 23 April 2014, Burrows announced that he would be the opening act for Ed Sheeran's Multiply Tour in the UK and Europe.[13][14]

Burrows released his third EP 'Ghosts' on Asylum Records in May 2014. Lead track 'Everything She Wants' and its subsequent remix by art rock band Everything Everything were both made 'Hottest Records' on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show.[7][15]

'Fall At Your Feet' was used in the opening scene of the motion picture This Is Where I Leave You which stars Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, and Jane Fonda which was released on 19 September 2014. The original motion picture soundtrack was released three days earlier on 16 September 2014.[16]

One of Burrows's tracks 'I Want You' was used for the eighth series of Made in Chelsea's trailer and for an ITV player advert in October 2014.[17]

In September 2014, Burrows announced that he was working on his debut album Young Blood with the Irish music producer Jacknife Lee (U2, Bloc Party, Kasabian).[18][19] The album was released on 3 July 2015 on Asylum Records.[20][21]

In November 2015, "Young Blood" was released as a DLC track for Rock Band 4, exclusively bundled with Ed Sheeran's "Sing" as a special edition.[22]

Following the release of his new album, Burrows went on tour in the UK in November and December 2015, during which he performed his new song called We Are Fire.[23]
