Born in Glasgow to a family of musicians, Chisholm's musical career began in the Glasgow Playhouse orchestra. He later recorded with jazz musicians such as Fats Waller and Benny Carter.

He followed it up with freelance work and a five-year stint with the BBC, including being a part of Wally Stott's orchestra on The Goon Show and several acting appearances therein. In the early 1960s, Chisholm was part of The Black and White Minstrel Show.

In 1984, Chisholm was awarded the OBE.
