Biography
For over forty years, John Scott has established himself as one of the finest composers working in films today, having collaborated with foremost producers and directors worldwide, including, Richard Donner, Mark Damon, Hugh Hudson, Norman Jewison, Irvin Kershner, Daniel Petrie, Roger Spottiswoode and Charleton Heston, among others. He has been an essential voice in international scoring that thoroughly belies his occasional over-looked stature in the midst of ‘brand name’ composers.
Frequently associated with Hollywood’s finest composers, including Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams, John Scott has created a body of work that stands up as some of the finest music ever written for film.
Patrick John Michael O’Hara Scott was born in Bishopston, Bristol, England. John’s musical abilities are not without precedence—his father was a musician in the Bristol Police Band. And, like many children, John was given music lessons—first on the violin and later on the clarinet.
When John was 14, he enrolled in the British Army as a Boy Musician in order to carry on his musical studies. He continued his study of the clarinet and also studied harp. John went on to study the saxophone and became proficient enough that when he eventually left the military, he was able to find steady work touring with some of the top British bands of the era.
