Scott Oatley aka VÂN SCOTT began his career as a background vocalist for some of Hollywood's biggest film and TV projects, from The Voice (with John Legend) and The Oscars (with Cynthia Erivo) to blockbuster movie soundtracks like La La Land, Jurassic World, SING, and many more – visit Scott's IMDB for a full list of credits.
As a performer, he has accumulated over 2.6 billion streams, including over 16 million streams for his own artist projects. His "La La Land Medley" arrangement for his former duo, Lord & Lady, went viral on YouTube in 2017, and was later featured on the global stage on NBC Sports during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games.
Mentored by two Grammy-winning superproducers, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and Mike Elizondo, Scott crowdfunded his debut album, Almost Gone, on Kickstarter in 2020. The following year, his single "What's Coming Next?" won the Overall Grand Prize in the USA Songwriting Competition.
After receiving his Masters in Songwriting & Production from BerkleeNYC in 2022, Scott began the gradual rollout of his sophomore LP, Songs I Never Wrote (because they would've been about you). He is currently at work on his third full-length album, featuring new singles "Happy Where I Am" and "Turn Off the Tears."
Vân Scott performs regularly across the U.S. with his own musical hubs in LA, NYC, and Nashville. He has performed regional tours across the U.S., including the Northeast, Nashville, Texas and California, many in partnership with Sofar Sounds. This past summer he completed his first ever tour of Europe, teaming up with Sofar London in addition to pop-up shows in Germany designed for his avid fanbase there.
