Calum, Michael and Luke attended the same school. Since they were passionate about music and played the guitar, they often used to hangout, creating cover versions of famous songs. In 2011, they met Ashton, who was a drummer. With Ashton on board their band was complete. Luke Hemmings created a YouTube account, together the band began uploading cover videos. Chris Brown’s ‘Next to You’ became their most popular cover. It was during this feat that the ‘One Direction’ star, Louis Tomlinson tweeted that he was a fan of their band and that people should start following the young boys. This brought them global recognition, and soon Sony ‘ATV Music Publishing’ signed them on. The Australian band went on to perform at a ‘One Direction Tour’ in 2013. By 2014, they released their first single ‘She Looks So Perfect’, with Calum writing the lyrics for them. The song topped the music charts in Australia, New Zealand and Sweden. Their self-titled album came out the same year, and it became a huge hit and won the band an award from UK-based ‘Kerrang’, a rock magazine. The band organized its own tour in 2015, and were overwhelmed by the response they received from fans. "Obie! Kiss?" @obie_boy A video posted by Calum Hood (@calumhood) on Jan 14, 2017 at 8:53pm PST

Calum is known to be the most charming member of the band. He is acknowledged as the “sweetest vocalist of 5SOS with boy-next-door looks”. He is athletic, and maintains a strict regime. He is also very hardworking and pushes the group to go beyond their limits. This Aussie-Kiwi has a gigantic female fan following, however he is shy and doesn’t brag about it. He appears to be a family man spending most of his vacations with his family. Sharing a great rapport with his band members, he is always in praise of their talent.

Calum is the backbone of the band, but when he isn’t shooting or recording he loves playing football. He has quite a few tattoos on his body, the most special of them all is the “MMXII” tattoo that he has on the side of his chest, a commendation of the year their band took off. He takes inspiration from the 90’s bands such as ‘Boys like Girls’, ‘Green Day’ and ‘All Time Low’. His favorite food is Hawaiian Pizza and chips (without salt or vinegar). If he had to choose to live by one dessert it would be chocolate mint ice-cream. Calum prefers animated films; his favorite movie is ‘Monsters Inc.’ He also has a huge crush on celebrity artist Katy Perry.
