## Background information

Callum was born at the old Queen Elizabeth II Hospital building on 5 May 1998. He grew up in his home town of Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire (England) and enjoyed his life with the family. He also enjoy his travels (e.g. London) and watching film & television shows such as *Doctor Who* and the *Marvel Cinematic Universe* film series. In 2004, he had diagnosed with autism. Precious was educated at Radlett Lodge School between 2008 and 2013. He form dwho1995 on 10 November 2010 at 12-years-old, and he was known for making *The Movies* version of *Doctor Who* - which only uploaded to YouTube in 2011. On 23rd June 2011, Callum establishes his YouTube channel but; despite closing down some of his channels; he opens several accounts for the past two years in his life. He also owned his Facebook and Twitter accounts in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2020, and 2022 respectively. His former official account had over 122,000 subscribers and over 1 million views in the past 9 years as his long-running YouTube channel from 3 October 2013 until its removal on 25 June 2022 but it was relaunched and it is due to return to YouTube with a clean and friendly videos in October. Despite his successful run as a YouTube, he come face-to-face with his own enemies. First, it was Robert J Francis (responsible for running his television presentation website TV Live). Then it was Cavan Day, who made allegations against Precious over the spread of false information and trolling the people. Precious denied the allegations and he fall back from the world of social media temporarily, beginning in December 2016.

Then in later years, Callum's life began to feel even worse than thought. On 30th March 2017, under the order of His Honour Judge Philip Waller, the social services in Hertfordshire began planning to remove Mr Precious under Section 15 for a so-called 12-week assessment; forcing his parents to hide himself in order to keep him safe. He was later founded by the police at the Embassy Hotel and he was removed from his family on 13th April 2017 to place him into care via Cambian Fairview Hospital in Colchester. After 9 weeks of stay, he was transferred to Morven House on 15th June 2017 (two days after the tragic Grenfell Tower fire on the evening of 13 June 2017) where - in recent years - Precious suffered from racist & physical abuse from black staff in a care home and he never experience racism before prior to November 2017. It happens behind close doors yearly, especially in the mist of the Coronavirus pandemic through three lockdowns in total. In addition, the use of short words upsets him since the allegations came into light in 2018. After five years in care, Callum returned to Welwyn Garden City with his mum and dad to escape racial & physical abuse that experienced at Morven House since 2017.

Following his return, Callum revived dwho1995 Entertainment after five years of being inactivated but remain untold for a decade. He rebranded it as **Callum Precious Ltd** (**CPL**) on 25th August 2022 in attempt to aim at new audiences after one of his YouTube accounts were removed on 24th July 2022 but it was renamed back to **dwho1995 Studios** for the first time in 4 months as part of its restructuring plans which will get underway in 2023 and it is confirmed that Precious will handover the ownership of his film company to the former Supergirl actor Melissa Benoist while her new boyfriend Callum will continue to improvise storytelling as a future film producer. Callum never had a partner until he briefly met her on video call on 29th December 2022.

## Social media

Since 2011, Callum have run more than five YouTube channels (one of them is permanently removed after nine years) and ten Twitter accounts every year despite some closures and inactivation. He also run a Soundcloud account under the name Brexit where he uploaded his music works which he made since 2016. Callum is currently on a three-month absent between 24th July (before and after the removal of a nine-year-old YouTube channel) and 5th October to focus on restoring family life and working on a new design for an all-new YouTube channel for October, although it was relaunched on 25th July 2022. It is confirmed on his revived Facebook fame - which also marking his first Facebook account since 2020 - that he is no longer on Twitter after ten years, which supposedly 11 years, because his account was suspended by the platform. However, he made his final attempt to return to Twitter in August 2022.

## Music works

Callum Precious is also known for being an independent music producer when he first uploaded his first work, From Disney With Bond (BBC Two James Bond Trailer Music); released on 25 January 2016 via Soundcloud - followed by his second work, Pump Up The Duke Of Death Volume; released on 28 August 2016. It was breifly uploaded on YouTube on 20 July 2022 prior to the channel's removal as of 25 July 2022.

Firstly, From Disney With Bond is a anthem of Callum's calls for Disney to buy MGM but never came into fruition after Amazon brought it in May 2021 and the deal was closed in March 2022. He also claims that the BBC would bring the broadcasting rights to the James Bond film franchise as mentioned in his article on the now-discontinued blog site but it is yet unlikely for the transfer from ITV until at least 2025.

And lastly, Pump Up The Duke Of Death Volume is a hip-house crossover track between the British video game composer Jeff van Dyke and the 1987 recording collective MARRS; created using Sony Vegas Movie Studio 11 via his old Windows XP computer without using FL Studio 12 software as where his From Disney With Bond track was.

On the evening of 1st August 2022, Callum Precious released his third track; The Multiverse Saga - a tribute track to the ongoing Marvel Studios Cinematic Universe saga; based and influenced on the lost 1989 remix of Can You Feel The Force, originally released in 1979, by English pop group The Real Thing. He also confirms a new dance movement that will bring the UK/Chicago house music scene together, it's called Hertfordshire House Music.
