Richard Scott Interview
Where are you from? Flushing NY
How long have you been making music? Since 1979
Can you tell us about your latest release and the back round and inspirations behind it? "Promise Me" is my latest single release, it is about a promise to be made and finding ones own true love, and the love relationship to form a close bond. The inspiration came from a song from George Strait called "Remember When" and the love back round that the song talks about.
How have you ended up in the music industry? Been in music since 1979 learned to play guitar then played in my first band and I was hooked. I wanted to be a recording artist.
What do you think of the music industry in 2018? The music has changed as well as the technology in the studio, there is so much more you can do then when I was recording with analog technology. It is technology heaven.

Who have you collaborated with so far in your career- I collaborated with my wife Jeanne, she writes poems, I put them into songs.
How do you think you differ from other artists? My songs are simple they are written with a little bit of country, easy listening and folk all rolled into one song with heavy back up and harmony vocals. I keep my songs about true life experiences.
Dead or alive, who would be your dream collaboration? Stephen Wrench, he has worked with almost every major artist and has several albums to his credit I think we would work well together. He"s a very well defined writer of songs. I would love the chance to work with him.
What was the first album you bought? Neil Diamond.
What"s your favorite song of the moment? Wagon wheel by Darius Rucker.

My second album "Dreaming Of You" is complete and can cater to an audience that enjoys country, easy listening, folk and oldies will love this collection of songs. I also would like to do some live performances by the summer.
