“I discovered my love of music at a very young age and it has defined my life ever since — singing, songwriting, composing, performing. There is something about music that clarifies life and allows me to express my feelings in the most honest way. It’s hard to describe, but I know my life would be empty without it. Many people ask how I would describe my music and that’s always a tricky question for me. John Mayer, Jeff Buckley, and Bob Dylan have been major influences, but I have my own unique style and continue to explore where the music takes me. The highs and lows of life inspire my writing. I want my listeners to feel like they can relate my songs to what they’re going through in their own lives. I also have a passion for playing guitar — it’s an amazing instrument and when played can help convey so many emotions. I have pop, rock and soul influences, but to me the genre doesn’t matter, because no matter what you call it, the music is what it is.” -Scott James
