Artist description Scott Riggan describes his music as "acoustic pop with lyrics that dig deeper." The music is guitar-based pop-rock – or, as Scott puts it, "it has a coffeehouse vibe without getting sleepy." Regarding his songwriting, Scott adds: "Any writer's worldview informs his or her approach to the crafting of a lyric. I see the world through the filter of faith, and my songs reflect that perspective."

Artist History Scott Riggan is the former lead singer/songwriter for the nobodys, a well-loved Christian indie band. The nobodys toured nationwide throughout the 90's, averaging 150-200 dates per year. Their song "EVEN IF" was a CCM Update Top 40 radio hit in 1999, in spite of the fact that the band was unsigned. Scott recorded and released his debut solo CD "ALL I KNOW" in late 2002. Scott's song "Love Called My Name" was honored with "Honorable Mention" in last year's John Lennon Songwriting Competition.
