In August 2018, he released his debut EP, A Picture Perfect Hollywood Heartbreak. The EP is a concept album about celebrity life and mental illness revolving around the protagonist's breakup with a mysterious woman named Juanita, as well as his thoughts of suicide and substance abuse. [7] Callison detailed his inspiration behind the album, saying "It's also a commentary on a lot of young actors and artists who have lost the battle; there's been a lot of dead 20 and 21-year-olds in the industry this year, some of whom I knew or admired. I don't know how we fix the problem, but I needed to say something." [8] Also in 2018, he starred as a magician in the music video for Nathan Sharp's song "Phantom".
He is a youth representative for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. [9] He graduated from Oak Park High School in Oak Park, California on June 11, 2015. [10] [A]
