Personality
Scott lives, eats, sees and breathes music. He's jittery and absent minded, which sometimes makes him seem a bit arrogant and others just plain bonkers. He remains close to his family, often taking at least one of his four half siblings on tour with him. He is truly close to just a handful of people who are able to overlook his quirky personality and focus on the intelligent, creative and sweet bloke hiding beneath his determination.
