About this Episode
From Country Singer Dreams to Grammy Award Winner
Every kid in Texas has heard Country music at least once. Ok in reality they are raised on it like brisket and Dr. Pepper. If you are blessed enough to live in Houston as a child then you also fall in love with the Rodeo, which just so happens to feature a lot of Country music. Basically, you learn to love it and the you dream to sing it on stage. This is exactly how my guest today found himself in one of the best music schools in the USA, with a dream the size of Texas to be a Country singer. Naturally he became one of the soloists for the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. Scott has now been on the roster for the Met Opera for 10 years.
Scott’s story about his road to the opera by way of Denton, TX is filled with turns he never saw coming. What is not a surprise is that he was born to sing. Since he was a child Scott was performing on the stage with ease. He wasn’t even challenged when he continued to find himself winning national competitions at the collegiate level. Scott could sing. What he didn’t plan on was singing Opera for a career. What he planned on even less than that was winning a Grammy for it! In fact, Scott didn’t even know that was possible. And the story he has to share about his big Grammy winning moment is absolutely priceless.
Make sure to tune in to this one for a classical story told with a Texas twang. And when you hear what he shares about the greats like Pavarotti and Rita Moreno, well you just might bust your britches.
Two words to describe this fascinating story: BE PREPARED
