Born in Glasgow to a family of musicians, Chisholm's musical career began in the Glasgow Playhouse Orchestra.[citation needed] In the late 1930s he moved to London, where he played in dance bands led by Bert Ambrose and Teddy Joyce. He later recorded with jazz musicians such as Coleman Hawkins, Fats Waller and Benny Carter during their visits to the U.K. In the mid-1990s, Chisholm retired from public life due to ill health.
