Bill Scott has been playing guitar for 29 years. That’s crazy for him to think about. Starting playing at age 11, he began his first professional band at the age of 12. Music is his life!!! Constantly working and being uncompromising, he has been a part of many fantastic projects and lived an amazing journey through his career.
In his early teens he played in Punk and Hardcore bands in Boston, Jerk, Six Billion Dead, Eviscerate and Trinity Test. Opening for bands like Converge, Cave In and Blood For Blood.
In 2002 Bill attended Berklee College of Music. He graduated Magna Cum Lade. While attending Berklee, he was flown to Los Angeles to play guitar on his best friend, Jack Dill’s record , recording with Steve Ferrone, Nathan East and Steve Postell.
After that experience, LA seemed like the inevitable choice for Bill. Since moving to LA in 2006 Bill has been all over the map as a musician. While always striving to be just be a guitar player, Bill has worked as a guitarist, bassist, vocalist, teacher, producer and engineer and as a demo guitar player for MOTU and Enya Music.
Now to business. Here’s the list of people I’ve worked with over the years:
Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty, Average White Band, Eric Clapton.)
Nathan East (Eric Clapton)
Daver Schultz (Berlin, English Beat, Fastball)
Waddy Wachtel (Stevie Nicks, Rolling Stones, Warren Zevon)
Elle Varner (J Records artist)
Steve Lindsey (Celine Dion, Bruno Mars)
Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes, Christina Aguilera)
