Glen Scott

Glen Scott (born Glenvin Anthony Scott on 29 August 1973) is an award-winning British producer, arranger, mixing engineer, singer-songwriter, and session musician.

His work is influenced by Marvin Gaye, Isaac Hayes, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, and Funkedelic.

Scott, Jamaican born, was raised in London, and was indoctrinated into playing music in his father’s church. By the age of nine, he had learned to play drums and Hammond organ, and also sang in the church choir. He has since added keyboards, guitar, and bass to his arsenal as a musician.

"Trust The Dawn" was his debut CD on Hidden Beach Recordings. Scott was signed to the label after performing a live showcase via iChat in his home of Stockholm. Label executive Steve McKeever and staffers viewed it in their Santa Monica offices. Scott wrote, arranged and produced all (10) songs on the CD.

"Deep In It" was the first single from the CD, and the single appears also on the Hidden Beach Volume 1 Valentine’s Day compilation CD "Love, Passion, & Other Emotions" (Feb 1, 2011). The video was aired on VH1 Soul, Centric, Music Choice and YouTube. Scott made a brief promo visit to Los Angeles in support of the single, including live appearances at Jamie Foxx’s "Foxxhole" and "R&B Live". His second single, "Send In A Letter," was released in August, followed by the release of "Trust The Dawn" in October.

Scott, along with his manager Ramon Hervey II, (Babyface, Vanessa Williams, Sweet Honey In The Rock, Andrae Crouch), have also created and co-executively produced a new webisode series, starring Scott and entitled "Life Is No Rehearsal". The weekly series showcases and chronicles the challenges and behind-the-scenes strategizing, facing artists based in Stockholm and Sweden, a manager in New York and a label in Los Angeles, to devise a global record/artist launch. The online series was unveiled as part of his CD launch.

Scott worked as a session musician and arranger in London, and has collaborated with songwriters and artists such as Craig David, James Morrison, Ron Sexsmith, Joshua Radin, Beverley Knight, and Eric Bibb.

The title track of "Trust The Dawn" appeared on the soundtrack of the Laurence Fishburne-movie "Once In My Life". It was also featured in the TV series "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" (1997) and for the film "After Sex" (starring Brooke Shields in 2000). Other releases have included "Do Something" (EP, Sony Japan, 2001) and "Soulrider" (Sony Japan, 2002). "Deafening Silence" (Sony/550/Sodarock, 2000) was released independently.

Scott is currently a part of the Kensal Town Collective in London, recording, writing and producing acts such as The Backstreet Boys, James Blunt, Lily Allen, Shane Filan, whilst he completes his 5th studio album.
