Van Scott

Once a demo singer for Maroon 5, a backup vocalist for John Legend, a featured performer on TV shows like Black-ish and The Voice, and movie soundtracks like High School Musical 3 and La La Land, VÂN SCOTT has lived in the background for most of his music career...until now!

Mentored by two Grammy-winning superproducers, Darkchild and Mike Elizondo, Scott is putting his songwriting and production skills front and center, alongside a pure, strong, and colorful voice, reminiscent of such range-defying singers as Nate Ruess (F.U.N.), Ben Platt, and Freddie Mercury.

Scott released his first album Almost Gone (AWAL) in 2021, featuring the single "What's Coming Next?" that went on to become the Overall Grand Prize Winner of the 2021 USA Songwriting Competition. Since graduating with a Masters from BerkleeNYC, Scott has released his sophomore LP, Songs I Never Wrote (because they would've been about you). His "hopeful yet melancholic songwriting" (Earmilk) is epitomized in this collection of sad, but true stories that look back at love lost. But if sad isn’t your thing, Scott is now ushering in a new era with songs like Happy Where I Am and You're My Best Shot!
