His exuberant voice emanates the sincerity of his heartfelt lyrics and he has received outstanding critical acclaim. Billboard Magazine said it perfectly: "an adept storyteller, his voice soaring, free and terrifically textured, is among the best we have heard. Howard reflects on those emotions that make life an ongoing adventure, A singer/songwriter talent to watch. Bravo!" The songs on Lucky One, born from Scotts heart and soul, can be regularly heard on such stations as KAZU, WMUH, WUSB and WWUH. They run the gamut of human emotions. Sometimes uplifting, sometimes sorrowful, the stories declare the passions and desires of all people. Deserve You tells the tale of the perfect love affair, and the wonder of attaining an amazing mate and Somewhere Johnny is the uptempo tune of a hopeful starving artist, who leaves a dream to start a nightmare. All Scotts songs span different aspects of the pop genre from melodic to funk rock. These are the songs reminiscent of Billy Joel, Neil Diamond and James Taylor, the songs that are true for all time, the songs that audiences long to hear more of on the radio. Scotts tunes are exultant, from the bottom of his heart, and that is why he has developed such a large fan base and is so popular at NY clubs. Scott brought enormous talent together to produce Lucky One. Jon Gordon engineered the CD and played multiple instruments on select tracks. Previous to working with Scott, Gordon provided musical direction for Madonna and Suzanne Vega. Multi-platinum contributor William "Prez" Bush also applied his talents and great experience to the CD. Bush has worked for Barry Eastman, Maxwell, and on the Jasons Lyric soundtrack. (Bush once commended Scott for "finding true artistry by not following trends, and staying musically true to himself".) Scott was born in New York City and discovered music at an early age. When he was little he would listen to his parents record collection and was introduced to names he still values and is influenced by: Elton John, Billy Joel, The Eagles and Carole King, to name a few. As for contemporary influences, Scott admires Marc Anthony for paving the way for talented male singers that have a story to tell. In a world of highly produced CDs where style rules over content, Scotts soulful, guy-next-door style is what the public is craving. His are songs that we all can relate to, his are the songs that become classics. Scott is a member of ASCAP and NARAS and NACA.
