Scott was born to play the piano. From an early age, listeners heard something rare — a natural gift shaped by quiet dedication. His talent was matched by a steady passion and iron tenacity. He would practice a passage until it surrendered, driven by a love of the music that never let him stop.

“I love the quiet miracle of how the musical puzzle pieces fit together”


Scott learned classical pieces alongside popular songs. One moment he might play Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2 in D-flat major; the next, the Beatles’ "Lady Madonna."

His love of diverse musical styles defined his songwriting. Scott used that gift over a 37‑year advertising career as co‑owner of the commercial music company WOW Music—professional, creative, and a little bit playful.

“I believe music holds a mysterious power: the ability to heal the heart.”


“My heart will be blessed with the sound of music” — a line from The Sound of Music — has stayed with me since I first heard it as a boy. Over the years I keep returning to the piano to play that melody when I need to steady my heart. It never fails: a smile, a tear, and a clear reminder of why music remains the love of my life.
