Calum Hood (5 Seconds of Summer)

ED NOTE: here's my episode (songwritersonpodcast.com/ashton-irwin-5-second…) with Hood's bandmate Ashton Irwin.
It's about time a songwriter referenced the movie Lost in Translation, as 5 Seconds of Summer (5sos.com) bassist Calum Hood (calumhood.com) did in our conversation. It's part of Hood's process: he finds inspiration everywhere. And he likes to create every day, but that doesn't always happen. "I'm an anxious person anyway, so if I go a few days without writing, I start to wonder what's going on," Hood says. "That's when I practice mindfulness."
Calum Hood's debut solo album is ORDER chaos ORDER (calumhood.lnk.to/orderchaosorder) on Capitol Records (shop.capitolmusic.com/products/calum-hood-orde…).
