A dedicated singer/songwriter, described by country music legend George Jones as ?The Real Deal?, Scott has spent his life developing a sound and style of his own. His music, while unique, has a traditional country quality and his dynamic stage presence; rich alluring voice and heartfelt delivery make Scott appealing to a broad range of country music listeners. His musical influences include Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, John Anderson, Vern Gosdin and Hank Williams Sr. Scott grew up in the close-knit farming community of South Charleston Ohio. He lived with his grandparents early in his life learning to sing and perform Pentecostal church hymns. Scott?s attraction to music led to his first entertainment-oriented job; at 14 he began Disc Jockeying at local clubs and radio stations finding immediate success. As a freshman in High School Scott became a percussionist with the marching band and also began playing drums for local bands. During this time he began writing lyrics and at the age of 17 Scott bought his first guitar with the money he earned cutting grass and began writing and playing music. Moving to Nashville in 1991 Scott played the lower Broad clubs including Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Roberts Western World and Legends Corner on a daily basis. While in Nashville his writing matured and improved dramatically. Increasing his original song library enabled him to then play songwriter venues such as Douglas Corner, The Bluebird Cafénd The Broken Spoke where he co-wrote with many other Nashville writers. In 1999 Scott moved back to his home state of Ohio. His writing continued and upon meeting his current songwriting collaborator Ron Vincent in early 2002, Luculent Music was formed. Scott came to public prominence in 2002 with the launch of his debut album, ?What Will The Good Times Do?. Internationally he quickly established recognizable success and strong critical reviews for his first single ?The Nashville Way?, which charted at No. 48 within a few weeks of it?s release. He continues to win the support of fans at home and internationally. ?The support my fans give me is truly incredible, I would be nowhere without them. I am so grateful to be doing what I love to do, so few get the opportunity to truly follow their dream? The talent Scott radiates is magnetic when he performs. His lyrics are so personally honest and distinctive they speak directly to the heart with pure feeling. You?ll find he is equally comfortable playing an impromptu acoustic set as he is performing with the backing of his own K.I.C. band. The latest chapter in Scott?s career recently begun with the release of his highly anticipated second album ?Dead Man Walkin' ?. Again on this album he continues to stay true to his music instincts. Already, music industry sources are using words like ?colossal? to describe the predicted success of this album. This young man has never lost focus of his dreams and 2004 will firmly see Scott establish himself without question as the next major success story in country music. Luculent, ?clear in thought or expression?, defines Scott Hisey?s music perfectly.

Lyrics
Uneasy Writer By: Scott Hisey & Ron Vincent CHORUS: I can’t get country music on my radio Nashville’s crankin’ out the pop & roll Videos’ replaced the opry show My music’s stuck on hold, label’s ‘bout to fold And I can’t get country music on my radio Me and Vince stopped by the Bluebird one day For folks who don’t know it’s a songwriter café A joint so packed we couldn’t even see the bar Rubbin elbows with the Nashville writers Playin’ it off like we was insiders Appearing next on stage the country rock star We stood and listened to that young man sing And it sounded nothing like country to me He had a hair-do that looked like a cockatiel We tried to laugh but it wasn’t funny We were buying the beer he was makin the money And just got signed to a Nashville record deal Vince hollered Hisey what are you doin wrong He’s got a record deal with no country songs Singin rock & roll let’s change your style” We packed up the truck headed back to Ohio Grabbed a pen and a pad and set down to write us A tune that would drive country pop fans wild Pickin’ and writin’ for an hour or two I don’t think Vince was in a pop writin’ groove When he turned and said “what are we gonna do Nothin’ we write sounds poppy to me It’s like we’re writin’ for Jones in 63 Stopped and said this is how it’s gonna be Let’s just stick to writin’ what we feel Keepin’it country with a fiddle and steel George Jones made it work and ya know he’s the real deal You can’t please em all not even half the time As for writin’ pop don’t even try We’ll be hardcore country till the day we die This little ditty ain’t gonna save the day It Damn sure won’t get radio play Bitin off Buck, McCall and the CDB It ain’t Matchbox 20 or Barenaked Ladies It ain’t a Nashville version of the latest pop craze It’s just country music the way it oughta be
