There is more than one artist named Mike Scott:
1. Mike Scott is founder and leader of The Waterboys.
2. Mike Scott was bassist for Phinius Gage and has since turned his attention to playing acoustic folk punk rock .

1. Michael ‘Mike’ Scott (born 14 December 1958 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is the founding member, lead singer and chief songwriter of rock band The Waterboys. He has also produced two solo albums, Bring ‘em All In and Still Burning. Scott is a vocalist, guitarist and pianist, and has played a large range of other instruments, including the bouzouki, drums, and hammond organ on his albums.

Scott was interested in music from an early age. At age twelve, after the family had moved to Ayr, he began a serious interest in learning guitar. The next year, Scott was playing in school bands and formed the band Karma, named after the tenet in Hinduism, with a friend named John Caldwell. Karma’s sound was inspired by David Bowie, The Beatles and Bob Dylan.
Scott and a guitarist named Allan McConnell formed a band, The Bootlegs, which gave way to Another Pretty Face in 1978 when Caldwell and two other friends joined. The band achieved remarkable success with their first single “All the Boys Love Carrie”/”That’s Not Enough” when New Musical Express named it “Single of the Week”. The band signed a contract with Virgin Records, was featured on the cover of Sounds magazine, and toured with Stiff Little Fingers. Virgin, however, after receiving a demo tape from Another Pretty Face, released the band four months after the signing.
