Tim Scott (guitarist)
British musician
Timothy Scott is an instrumental recording artist primarily known for his solo instrumental guitar compositions.
Early life
Scott was born and brought up in Hazel Grove, a suburb of Stockport, England. He attended Hazel Grove High School and Salford College of Music, but "dropped out before he got kicked out", finding that he could not cope with the written work due to his dyslexia. He later studied for a diploma at The Guitar Institute, London (now known as The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance).
Music career
Scott's music career began in 2003 when he self-released his debut album Bald on the Inside via Acer Records set up in 2002 and named after Scott's private recording studio. He distributed the album through the bookstores Borders across the UK, where he also performed live sets. The album peaked inside their top 200 sellers list and received generally positive reviews.
The Bald on the Inside press reviews opened the opportunity for Scott to work with BBC Radio 1 DJ Judge Jules, writing and performing on the instrumental guitar track "Puesta Del Sol" for Judge Jules' debut album Proven Worldwide. Scott played live guitar over his backroom Funky House/Dirty Electro DJ set during the BBC Radio 1 weekend in Ibiza on 15 and 16 August 2005. From 2005–2008 Scott performed at clubs in Ibiza and the UK, alongside Judge Jules and other artists such as Jon Fitz and Katherine Ellis.
