About Harrison Scott


Singer/Songwriter/Producer Harrison Scott was born September 14, 1990 and grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. After a proper art school education in Baltimore, Harrison landed in New York City, where he began laying the groundwork for what would become his debut EP “Spectral Evidence." His first single, the haunting “Silence Into Noise,” premiered on Entertainment Weekly with a self-directed video, which EW said “reflect[ed] the aloofness that all serious synthesizer artistes should aspire to” and went on to call Scott a “Synthpop auteur.” Following this initial online buzz the video was quickly picked up by MTV, VH1 and LogoTV and added to their broadcast rotation. This prompted Crossfadr to name Harrison as a “Producer to Watch in 2105, ” saying his style nods to “80s roots without sounding overtly retro,” with Impose Magazine calling his music "ambitious electronic pop." Harrison followed up this streak with his next single “Locked Up” which premiered with a live performance on Yahoo! Music. They called the track a “moody and isolating synth-pop anthem” citing how “well constructed” the song was. Harrison’s sound takes inspiration from 80’s new wave, horror film soundtracks and dark synthpop, utilizing “smooth vocals [that] harken back to a time when the ‘pop’ in synthpop and electro-pop mattered, while the production…maintains a timeless quality.”
