“…a sound which successfully reflects the vastness of Scotland and Iceland’s breathtaking wilderness.” (Spotlight UK)

Zac Scott is a Glasgow based acoustic singer-songwriter who has spent the past two years writing and recording a unique collection of songs inspired by the land – and sound – scapes of Scotland and Iceland, resulting in his debut album “For The Love Of…” Influenced by the likes of James Blake, David Gray, Arcade Fire and Olafur Arnalds, Zac is steadily building his reputation across Scotland on the strength of his intricate writing and strikingly visual live performances with a 7-piece band.

Following the self-releases of debut single ‘Fox’, and subsequent singles ‘Million’ (recently BBC Radio Scotland’s first Single of the Week 2020) and ‘Frostbitten’ and a series of preview showcases across Glasgow (Old Hairdressers, The Glad Café & The CCA), the artist continues to raise the bar. Zac was due to perform “For The Love Of...” in full with a colourful one-off launch show at Glasgow’s iconic Saint Luke’s in April 2020, though this has been postponed.

Zac built a team of musicians with producer Thomas Brumby - Cameron Black, Joe Standley, Sarah McWhinney, Gudrun Soley Sigurdardottir, Kenny Cormack and Grace Dale. The team worked collaboratively to devise the album which comprises of 12 tracks that blend acoustic piano, intimate and layered vocals, double bass, cello, violin, drums and electric guitars to create a unique and evocative sound. The upcoming album contains very memorable and powerful pop songs that have been woven into intricate and ethereal landscapes.

To fund this entire project, Zac continued to work as a music teaching artist across different artistic contexts throughout Scotland, primarily with The Academy of Music and Sound (Glasgow and Edinburgh) and inclusive music and dance organisation Paragon Music. He trained at Lincoln Center Education, New York and graduated from BA (Hons) Contemporary Performance Practice at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where he also won The Mary Stuart Prize for Public Speaking. Other notable teaching artistry practice includes sessions with the Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall New York, Starcatchers, Support in Mind Scotland, Music Broth, Glasgow East Arts Company and The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
