Hilary Scott

sxrmsessions#6/Bonus

The young lady from Missouri was playing in town with our good friend Norfolk, we couldn’t miss the chance to lock her in the old Sexroom! She came with a bunch of other girls and took us by surprise… lovely voice, beautiful melodies and stunning eyes, we fell under her charm after the first chords!

Hilary started her solo performance career in Seattle in 1999, but moved to Columbia, Missouri in 2000, where she formed The Hilary Scott Band. In 2004, Hilary began working with Nashville producer Matthew Wilder to help carry her songs into the radio realm, releasing an EP entitled, ‘Out of the Wilderness.’ These songs have been well-received by both fans and radio. After receiving a copy of ‘Out of the Wilderness’, John Kulidas of WCSU (Chicago State University) said: “Hilary’s in our rotation and we’re definitely looking at her as an up-and-comer. Just the other day one of my colleagues was asking me, ‘where are all the Carol Kings nowadays’? Well….here you go!”

After signing a publishing deal with Matthew Wilder in 2005, Hilary had the opportunity to write with ‘Nashville royalty’ such as John Goodwin and Angela Kaset, collaborating on songs that dip into different genres such as dance/techno, and pop. She is currently collaborating on a project with legendary songwriter, Keith Colley.

In 2007, Hilary moved back to her native Washington State. Discovered on My Space by agent Vanessa Feltner of Premier Talent International, Hilary began extended tours overseas and has so far performed in Vietnam and Korea, and will be performing in Japan for an extended engagement this Fall. Through PTI, Hilary will continue to balance overseas performance with touring in the US, and travels to the Midwest to perform with the Hilary Scott Band. Hilary also collaborates with other artists, such as the D’Alessio trio in Italy, and Wes Wingate of Hometone Records in Missouri.
