The X Factor, Callahan was part of mixed-gender group managed by Geri Halliwell, before leaving in June 2011 to go solo. He released his debut single "
Runaway Train" in December 2012. Callahan supported
The X Factor bands District3 and Union J at gigs in Scotland. Callahan is a Celtic fan, having lived in Glasgow to work with Scottish music producer John McLaughlin (911, Westlife, Busted), who produced "
Runaway Train". Callahan has also worked as a model.
Callahan sang "

You Need Me, I Don't Need You" at his arena audition. He performed "
Iris" at bootcamp and "
We Are Young" and "
Teenage Dream" at judges' houses.
During the live shows, Callahan angered
