Country music continues to welcome global voices, and Callum Kerr is stepping into the spotlight with both cowboy boots firmly planted. The Scottish-born, Texas-raised, and Nashville-based rising star has officially inked a deal with music powerhouse ONErpm and the renowned Huff Co., marking a significant milestone in his blossoming career. The news arrives alongside the release of his brand-new single, “Cold Beer Cold”, offering a taste of what’s to come.
Callum Kerr described the signing, in a press release, as an exciting step, highlighting his appreciation for the reputations of both ONErpm and Huff Co. “I’d heard about the Huff’s before even landing in Nashville,” he said. “Couldn’t have been more delighted when David [Huff] called me with the offer. And to team up with ONErpm is even more awesome, given their experience in music marketing and distribution. The music is recorded and ready to go, and I think everyone is super excited to get it out into the world.”
Callum Kerr first made waves in 2023 with his debut single, “Tequila Therapy”, a raw, guitar-driven country anthem soaked in emotion. That was followed up by “Tamed by Tennessee”, a collaboration with fellow Scot and now Nashville artist Chris Andreucci. With his unique transatlantic charm and storytelling style, Callum Kerr is quickly proving that country music isn’t just for southern-born stars.
His new single, “Cold Beer Cold”, is the first release since officially joining ONErpm and Huff Co., the latter founded by legendary producer Dann Huff and his brother David Huff. According to the Huff brothers, the connection with Callum Kerr was instant, and their working relationship took off effortlessly—even when some vocals had to be recorded remotely while Callum Kerr was on set filming in South Africa.
“Working with him in the studio was effortless,” the brothers stated. “Even having to record a few of his vocals via Skype while he was filming in South Africa! His Scottish roots along with his Country Rock roots really bring a new feel to his debut Country EP. This guy is gonna come out of the gates smokin’!”
Ryan Cunningham, Director of A&R at ONErpm Nashville, echoed those sentiments, stating, “Callum Kerr is a true entertainer. We’ve watched him captivate live audiences with just him and a guitar, and our entire team is excited for everyone to hear the new music he’s created with Dann and David Huff. With this new project, Callum is bringing a sound to Country music that is true to who he is as an artist, and we can’t wait for the world to hear it.”
Beyond the microphone, Callum Kerr has already built a diverse career. As an actor and model, he quickly gained prominance in UK Channel 4’s TV soap Hollyoaks as PC George Kiss for 70 episodes. His career expanded to include credits and appearances in Monarch on FOX and Netflix hits Virgin River and One Piece, showcasing his range across the entertainment industry. With 13 film and television credits to his name, it’s clear that Callum Kerr is no stranger to the spotlight.
As his musical journey gains momentum, this new chapter with ONErpm and Huff Co. looks set to elevate Callum Kerr to a whole new level—bringing his bold fusion of Scottish grit and Southern soul to the global country stage.
