CalderBaxter

Bristol

Calder Baxter is a grassroots musician from Bristol coming up with his bright and fresh indie-pop sound. Not wanting to be confined to a formulaic indie-rock and pop style, he seeks to create connection between himself and his listeners by telling authentic human stories that convey his perception of love, loss, helplessness, empathy and truth. All inspired by both his lived experiences and true stories from strangers. He draws heavily from Sam Fender, Olivia Dean and Jeff Buckley, and was originally inspired by George Michael for his vulnerability, Stevie Wonder for his musical prowess and Neil Sedaka for his operatic voice. His 'influence rich' musical style began forming at a young age. When words were a struggle at first due to dyslexia, music became his language. His sound is a pleasing blend spanning from anthemic indie-rock, catchy indie-pop and heart felt ballads, but his music always strives to display his honesty and raw emotion through his lyrics and his voice.
