Why work with Scott? Aside from the catalog of excellent songs, it's the competitive & reasonable terms he offers with fast and easy service. Despite a lack of proximity to a major U.S. music hub, Scott provides this by leveraging the power of the internet, e-mail and digital music technology to facilitate the song pitching, reviewing, and licensing process. With an ultra-efficient home studio and office, he handles most aspects personally - from writing & recording demos to publishing & contract negotiation - all while taking full advantage of the professional memberships, affiliations, networking and marketing opportunities the web affords. This approach allows you to deal with one writer, one company, one contact person, one web site, one phone number. Just tell Scott what you're after, put on your headphones, and shop the customized online catalog he will tailor ahead of time to meet your needs until you find the right song for your film, recording project or artist without having to weed out inappropriate songs. Working with Scott enables you to avoid such common annoyances as complicated negotiations and confusing co-writer contracts. By cutting through the red tape, you not only get the right songs, but you also save time and money along the way. Visit the Reviews page for references and testimonials. | What kinds of songs? Scott's promotional demo compilation CDs primarily contain genre-agnostic songs that readily lend themselves to being cut as Rock or Pop, with strong crossover potential into R&B and country. As recorded by Scott, they predominantly fall into the categories of acoustic, garage rock, folk-rock, singer-songwriter, roots rock, heartland rock, lo-fi and Americana. The lyrics feature clever rhymes that often deliver deep & emotion-evoking stories/conversations about universally-appealing subject matter, w/ fresh takes on common themes of love & nature, usually from a somewhat rebellious character's perspective. Great lakes-oriented imagery & midwestern values are prevalent throughout the catalog. The vocals are soothing and clearly understood. The music primarily features tightly-composed fast & mid-tempo songs (& a few ballads) in the verse-chorus-verse-chorus form, some w/ pre-choruses, & a few AABA's; w/ short intros/instrumental breaks; usually in 4/4 time w/ a few waltzes. Rounding out the demo sound are well-placed background vocals; & when fully-produced, include acoustic bass guitar; understated drums & percussion; & occasional slide guitar, harmonica or marimba. | Next steps?
