When doctors told DJ Scott-e, he would never work again after a major car crash and a workplace hearing accident, he turned to music making’s reaffirming, healingpower. ‘I had to go back and learn everything again’, says DJ Scott-e about this life-changing event.
The Perth-based music artist has just released one of the newly written tracks that helped him along his journey, Live Life, a slice of hook-laden dance-pop whose positive messaging and a good-time atmosphere is bound to connect with audiences everywhere.
The new track, which features vocals by Josh Arnold, winner of the Golden Guitar Award at the Australian Country Music Awards, follows an extensive history of previous releases that have produced pretty impressivestreaming stats. When asked about the new track’s origins, DJ Scott-e says, ‘Live Lifewas written off the back of some adversities that lead me to a very dark place.
During this period, I reflected on what I really enjoyed in life, and that was that young,carefree beach/sunset vibe. I kept telling myself that I’ve gotta live life and not let this darkness overtake me.’ Along with his production work which includes weekly mashups for radio, TV commercial appearances, and remixes for major artists like Samantha Fox, Quench, David Sterry (Real Life), Ultra Sun and more, Scott-e performs around 150 DJ gigs per year, ranging in crowd sizes from fifty to thousands and audiences of every possible demographic.
When asked about his creative goals, DJ Scott-e says, ‘It sounds cliche, but I’ve always dreamed of a number 1 hit around the world. On my 21st birthday, I had a cake decorated like a record, and my brother quipped, “That’s the only record you’ll ever cut”.
I played him Live Life recently and reminded him of what he said!’ Cliché or not, the release of Live Life will undoubtedly assist DJ Scott-e in realising his lifelong goal of achieving major chart success.
