Today we’d like to introduce you to RJ Scott.
RJ, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I began my music journey 2005 in high school in my hometown of Raleigh North Carolina a grant allowed for a fully functional music studio to operate on campus I was hooked! I worked hard to become an artist before realizing I was better suited as a producer. As time progressed, I gave up and become a full-time firefighter. I left music for ten years… fast forward to 2019, my good friend Jerren Spruill posted something on social media about being a producer! I was so intrigued I dusted my equipment of and got back to work due to PTSD my career with the Raleigh fire department ended and I was gifted the opportunity to focus back on my first love producing for Multiplatinum artist Petey Pablo As my first placement back! I’ve been marking music again for just under two years and will continue to press towards the goal of getting my first plaque.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
My life riddled by personal challenges as mentioned before (ptsd) I had to lean on my faith and my family to help me continue on a positive path
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
It has been very therapeutic and rewarding to be back making music for artist to express themselves on, I pride myself on producing beats that help reveal the true character of an artist; I am most proud of my progress thus far even while the pandemic is slowing things down I have been blessed with opportunities to work with great people both major and independent and while I can mention who just yet I can not wait to give you all an update as those things materialize.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
Family matters most to me, I come from a Christian household and at the core of our values, there is the family aside from the joy that music brings me I do this to try and provide a better life for my loved ones.
