Scott has played drums since age 12. He began playing drum set at 17 in various genres of music before settling in the world of Jazz where Scott currently plays with the band Hiplomatic Jambassadors. Then in 2006, after happening upon a drum circle in Atlanta, played on his first Derbake (Doumbek). He immediately took a two and a half year break from the drum set, building a collection of middle eastern music and instructional CDs, DVDs, attended seminars of Seido Salifoski and Suhail Kaspar, and also took private lessons from Kaspar. He immersed himself practicing for hours a day with the likes of Amir Naoum, Sayed Balaha, Nourhan Sharif, Hossam Ramzy, Gamal Goma, and Mahmoud Fadl leading the way. Scott drummed with bellydancers in Mobile, Pensacola, Fort Walton, Atlanta, Pascagoula, Biloxi, and of course Ocean Springs, and met his wife, Sonja, who is a bellydancer, along the way. Scott and Sonja have found their home with Baklava Bellydance of Mobile, Alabama.
