About: AKA
Blending character-driven songwriting with quirky sample led soundscapes, the AKA project marks a fresh musical direction for Callum Thompson – Liverpool based musician, producer and guitarist of alternative rock group, The Mysterines – and reflects an unconventional approach.
Last month saw AKA release his debut single, ‘It Grows On Trees (Money)’, through Fiction Records. Irresistibly grungy with a petulant punk edge, the track is, “a song about the surreal becoming real,” and was produced and written by Thompson, who recently performed at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton. You can listen to the song on the Liverpool Official playlist on Spotify.
How did you come to support your club and what are your favourite memories from your time as a fan?
AKA: I was put in a Liverpool kit the day I was born, so I suppose I didn’t have much of a choice. I’d say my favourite memories are winning European cups and the league. Madrid in 2019 was an all timer.
Who have been your favourite players for the club?
AKA: Steven Gerrard is always just your bread and butter as a Liverpool fan growing up in my era. He was my hero growing up and someone that personifies what it is to be a Liverpool legend. My favourite current player would be Virgil van Dijk.
What are your thoughts on how the 2025/26 season has gone for your club?
AKA: It’s been a season to forget really, I think after signing [Alexander] Isak and having such a good season just gone everyone’s hopes were high. I think loosing Diogo [Jota] has had a big impact on the players but I think next year we’ll be right back there.
What’s going on for you as an artist at the moment?
AKA: I’ve just started releasing music and playing shows under AKA. It’s a really exciting time for me to start something new and different to other stuff I’ve done. I’m really enjoying making and playing music at the minute which is the main thing
