Scott W. Hallgren
Emboldened by surviving decades of world travel and ritualistic abuse at the hands of producers, 'Divas' & 3 chord cowboys, Scott continues writing original jazz & Brazilian flavored pieces, in addition to a busy film scoring and arranging career. He was also an 8 year Grammy voter and board member of the Nashville Composers' Association. His first album "Tango/Jazz", featuring all original music, was released on the Magnatune label in 2010 and has garnered 2 million plays on Spotify. Scott's previous life includes live performances, tours and/or studio recordings with: Donna Summer, Sir Elton John, Aaron Neville, Gloria Estefan, Ricky Skaggs, Eddy Arnold, Lari White, Marc Antony, Andrae Crouch, Brian Littrell (Backstreet Boys), David Foster, Larry Gatlin, Margaret Becker, The Wilkinsons, Steve Wariner, Jaimee Paul, Monte Montgomery, Seay and Fernando Ortega.
