BORN in Colorado USA, the son of a singer and an army officer, the family was posted to Germany in 1970. It was then that the dreams started. "I was on stage, playing. When I woke up, I wanted to feel what I felt in the dream," says Craig Calhoun. It was this that inspired Craig to teach himself guitar. It wasn't till the family returned to California that he discovered his true calling. "I saw someone slap and then said... yeah that's what I wanna do." Craig commenced a five
to six hours a day bass habit.
AIN'T IT FUNKY - there's no doubting the musical talents inherent in the Calhoun family. Vicki Calhoun can be heard
on Chilli Peppers & Fishbone CD's, Will Calhoun, the driving beat for Living Colour. Another Calhoun has called Australia home and this legend's known for his funky bass slap and monstrous groove
THE kid's bedroom soon became the stage, and the pages of destiny began to unfold. "It wasn't like your ordinary
De ja vu that lasts a few seconds, this lasted for minutes. I'd look around, all the faces where the same as those in my dream, years earlier:' The hands of fate took hold of Craig's career late one night in Southern California. We'd just finished a gig. These two guys walked in and said I'll give you $100 if you play another song another. The 18 year old slapper signed a 35 page contract, received a $9000 advance and whatever equipment his heart should desire.
CRAIG was scooped up by Kevin Borich and in 1988 commenced corporate production and Jingle writing. Prompted by family and friends, Craig recorded his first solo CD, AIN'T IT FUNKY, which includes three live tracks with his band
The Brothers of OZ and cousin Will Calhoun on drums. The CD stirred a desire to produce new Australian acts.
Both recordings are now available in a complete makeover as part of a new series called CRAIG CALHOUN - SESSIONS .
