Early life

Call Me Loop was born as Georgia Buchanan [1] on 23 December 1990. [2] She began writing songs and performing at the age of five, and participated in talent shows at school and summer camp. [3] For her fourteenth birthday, her parents paid for the opportunity to record her first song in a professional recording studio. [4] After attending Guildford High School, from which she graduated from in 2009, she studied drama at the University of Exeter. [5] After her graduation, she relocated from Surrey to South London in order to pursue a career in music. [6]

Career

Originally known by the name Loop, [7] [8] Buchanan rebranded herself as Call Me Loop. In April 2016, Call Me Loop independently released her debut single, "Thinking of You". [3] This was followed by various single releases including "Losing My Mind", "As If" and "Know Me Better". [9] "As If" received attention from the public when Elton John selected the song to play on his Beats 1 radio show. [10] In May 2017, she supported English DJ Jonas Blue on his European tour. [10] Later that month, she released a self-titled extended play, which was acclaimed by critics. [11] Later that year, she released "Maybe I'm a Liar", which Popjustice described as a "sprightly, R&B‑infused tropical slinker". [12]

Following the release of more singles including "Give 'n' Take", "Love the Lie", "Business" and "Silly Boy", Call Me Loop released her second extended play, Drama. [13] Georgia Maher of The Line of Best Fit described Drama as a "solid collection of vibrant, infectious pop wonders", and titled her a "rising pop maverick", complimenting her songwriting ability. [14] In 2020, "React", a song she co-wrote, was released by The Pussycat Dolls. [15] She expressed her excitement at writing for them, commenting: "To have written it for an iconic girl band that I grew up listening to is just mind-blowing." [16] This was followed by the release of her next singles, "Downhill From Here" [17] and "Strike". [18] She returned in 2022 with the singles "Year of the Ex" and "Painkiller". [19] In 2023, she released her final single, "Goodbye Song". She explained that independently releasing music was no longer financially viable for her and began focusing on writing material for other artists. [20]
