Scott's vocal ability and his bulldog determination has landed this young singer one of the fourteen spots in the Music On and Up 18 & under competition on October 24 at Boston's hottest club, the Hard Rock Cafe.

Scott's dream has always been to perform. As a vocalist and an actor, Scott has been living the dream in many ways. As an actor he has had many roles in community theaters, on TV in commercials and in the Emmy Award winning Aqua Kids , and in film as 'Chris the Magician' in the feature film Ironsides. As talented of an actor Scott is, it is his writing and performing of his music that truly allows Scott to shine.

With a vocal style that has been compared to Justin Bieber and Micheal Jackson, Scott captivates his audience from the first note. Powerful on Hip Hop, soulful on his ballads, Scott strong vocals and skillful use of scatting has him quickly becoming a heart throb among the girls. His drive for excellence has also captured the attention of professionals in the music business as well, landing him as an opener for some big acts, including Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian.
