Artist description THE INSIDERS represent why all musicians get into music....to make music that THEY love, unbounded by record companies or managers. THE INSIDERS consists of Scott McGinley, a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, and his wife and musical partner Vicky Chen-McGinley (filled out with some help from musical friends). After 4 top ten hits in Asia and 3 record deals over the last 7 years, Scott has turned his focus to THE INSIDERS, and the Philadephia area. “In my last project we were famous throughout Asia, we had many videos on MTV and were playing concerts in front of 30,000 people” says McGinley. “I was also able to record with some pretty special people (legendary producer Keith Olsen [foreigner, fleetwood mac, pat benatar], and members of CHICAGO and SANTANA), but something was missing. Now I want to take that great experience and apply it to something more creative, and fun!”THE INSIDERS’ music runs a range of styles from power-pop to rock to r’n’b’ tinged ballets. The thread of consistancy is the strong songwriting and beautiful, creative musical arrangements. Scott’s successful past projects and Vicky’s beautiful voice, and acting and modeling roots have been experiences to lead them here....making music that they love....and hope you do too!

Press Reviews Sounding like a mix of Scot Sax (Wanderlust) and Matthew Sweet, The Insiders mix up a variety of stylings, mostly all falling comfortably inside what is of interest to Not Lamers. Comprised of singer/ multi-instrumentalist, Scott McGinley, and Taiwan born model-turned musician, Vicky Chen, most of the vocals are handled by McGinley. The Insiders create an ambiously seductive ocean of pop sound and always have interesting, never walk-through-the-motions arrangements. There's even a cover version of the Hudson Brothers "So You Are A Star" so you know exactly where the grounding of inspiration is for this band. Very Highly Recommended! -Bruce Bodeen NOT LAME RECORDINGS "Scott has a command of the pop idiom like few others. He seems to swallow records whole, let them mix around in his system, and spit out completely fresh interpretations of classic pop elements. Whether as a singer, songwriter, producer or instrumentalist, his control of the art at the heart of the music is masterful." -Clay Farmer (record producer, A&R)
