Country newcomer Marlee Scott has spent her short lifetime dreaming of becoming an entertainer. After experiencing love and heartbreak and with more than a decade of musical training, Scott is ready to make a big impact on country music. She combines her passion for music, love of songwriting and desire to be a performer into everything that she does. All things considered, Scott is a born entertainer.
"Country music has always been a part of me. When I was growing up my mom had a Honda Civic and the only station we could get on the radio was country," explains Scott. "When I turned 16 I was listening to pop music with my friends and one day a song we didn't like came on the pop station so we switched to the country station. 'Mountain Music' by Alabama was playing. We liked the groove so we left the radio tuned to country."
The allure of a pink guitar from Scott's childhood set her on the path that lead to her first CD release, SOUVENIR, (distributed by 306 Records) in October 2005. Her first album introduced Scott to country music fans in her native Canada, but it's her self-titled sophomore album (released internationally by Big Ride Entertainment) that promises to take her to the next level in her career.
Scott moved to Nashville permanently in the summer of 2007. She spent months writing music for an upcoming CD, unsure of where she would find a home for her music in Nashville. When Scott felt like she had the right songs for her sophomore release she brought the music to Big Ride Entertainment President Gerry Leiske. Leiske was intrigued by Scott's music and signed her to a management deal in February 2008.
MARLEE SCOTT (released November 11, 2008) contains 10 tracks, 9 of them list Scott as a co-writer. Her second album is packed with emotion and showcases her vast influences. Country fans are sure to love the uptempo songs that show Scott's zest for fun like "Five O'Clock Dance" and "You're So Sexy" and it's the relationship anthem "Fight With You" that will be her first introduction to country radio in the USA. Heartbreak is represented in the album's first track, "Reality" and touching ballads "Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow" and "I Hold Your Hand" help round out the self-titled collection of songs guaranteeing that there truly is a song for everyone on this hit-packed CD.
Growing up in the community of St. Albert, Alberta, the down-home, small town spirit is alive and well in Scott. Her spirit, skills as a musician, songwriter and vocalist and her fun-loving, sassy personality insure that Scott has a bright future ahead of her
