Scott "Flip" Phillips, born on February 23, 1973, in Georgia, United States, is an American drummer and songwriter known for his energetic drumming style and improvisational skills. Growing up in a musically inclined family, Scott was introduced to music at an early age. His father played triplet buzz rolls on drums, while his mother played piano and guitar—creating a household rich in musical influence.
Although he showed an early interest in drumming, Scott began formal musical training by learning piano at the age of 3 and saxophone at 6. He continued to play both instruments in his school marching band, giving him a strong foundation in music theory and performance.
Inspired by drummers featured on MTV, Scott taught himself to drum and began playing seriously at the age of 18. He joined his first band, Crosscut, marking the beginning of his journey in the rock music scene.
Over time, Scott developed a reputation for being a powerful yet precise drummer, known for his speed and on-the-spot improvisation. These attributes earned him a loyal fanbase and recognition as a skilled modern rock drummer.
In the mid-1990s, Scott co-founded the post-grunge band Creed, which quickly gained massive popularity. Creed became one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The band fused elements of post-grunge, alternative rock, hard rock, and heavy metal to develop its signature sound.
Creed’s debut album, My Own Prison, was certified six-times platinum and earned them the Billboard Music Award for Rock Artist of the Year in 1998. Their follow-up, Human Clay, achieved diamond certification, and their hit single “My Sacrifice” also contributed to the platinum success of their third album. Creed has sold more than 28 million records in the United States and over 53 million worldwide, securing their place as one of the best-selling bands of the 2000s.
