## Career

Callison began acting on television in 2009, with a recurring role on Diary of a Single Mom. For the next few years, he had a variety of one-off television roles. In 2013, he was cast in the main voice role of Prince James on Sofia the First, and in the lead voice role of Steven Universe.

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. 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." Also in 2018, he starred as a magician in the music video for Nathan Sharp's song "Phantom".

## Personal life

He is a youth representative for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He graduated from Oak Park High School in Oak Park, California on June 11, 2015.
