Born on February 23, 1973, in Georgia, US, Scott got connected to music because of his musical family. Scott grew up listening to his dad's triplet buzz and his mom's piano and guitar tunes.
Scott was interested in drumming since his childhood, but because of his parent's heritage, he started playing piano when he was 3 and saxophone when he was 6. Later, Scott played both the instruments for his school marching band.
A self taught drummer, Scott finally started drumming at the age of 18 being inspired by drummers on MTV. Later, he joined his first band Crosscut.
Eventually, he went on to become one of the prominent rock drummers and an influential figure.
Creed, which is known for specializing in different genera such as post-grunge, alternative rock, hard rock and heavy metal, is regarded as one of the most celebrated band of the post grunge movement of the late 1990's and early 200's.

Both Creed and Alter Bridge tours are always famous with maximum ticket sales. Let's hope Creed reunites for the second time.
