Commissioned to create the track specifically for The Garfield Movie, Scott was thrilled about this milestone opining that it was his first time crafting a song for a film, and that too for a massive box office hit.

At present, Scott appears to be single, dismissing rumors of hook-ups and relationships that have surfaced now and then. He appreciates the flourishing career he currently enjoys, understandingly stating that finding love might not come as swiftly in this industry. And while he’s open to starting a family, he knows the right time might not come unless he makes it work.

His upcoming performance schedule promises events in Belfast and Nottingham, with an international gig lined up in Lisbon. Fans eagerly waiting to watch him live can purchase tickets online.
