Callan Nagel-Dubin
(Song) Writer, (Graphic) Designer, (Music Biz) Student.
Callan Foster, or as he is known by the Average Joe, Callan Nagel-Dubin, is an artist based just as much in the past as he is the present.
His various fascinations and fixations pop up in unexpected and fun ways throughout his music. From the song November 15th, written in anticipation of college application decisions, to Appalachia, a love song to the region with which his family's history is intertwined, his music is distinctly representative of his story and his growth in a dynamic region of the United States.
His story begins in a small suburb of Columbus, Ohio. Growing up adjacent to the Rust Belt, groups like Raspberries and The Romantics filled his ears and showed him how powerful a guitar can be. He grew up traveling in and out of Northern Ohio and the Ohio River Valley, developing as an artist in the crosshairs of Appalachian and Rust Belt culture.
Today he still calls Ohio home, while traveling to New York for school in Syracuse.
