Speaking of the process to develop his sound, he says, “I am grateful for the support and encouragement of my vocal coach, Heidi Huelskoetter, who inspired me on this project. I also want to express my appreciation for the production skills of Jan Smith, who has worked with talented artists like Jesse Owen Astin. Their expertise at Jan's studio brought out the very best in my performance.”
Having been raised in Montana, Wyoming, and then Indiana, Scott spent his early years gaining success on the wrestling mat, winning state championships as a youth. Later, he joined the Marines at 17 before starting third-level education and earning a degree in Finance and Arts. Eventually, Scott went to law school, a decision that led him to start up his practice.
However, the entertainment industry and film making always remained his true love. About his filmmaking, he said, When I returned from the Marine training, I decided to write my scripts and make my movies. I had no idea how to do either one of them. My acting teacher at the time, Steve Coulter, was an accomplished actor and writer. He pointed me in the right direction, and I wrote novels I thought were screenplays making all the rookie mistakes.”
With a writing style that’s crisp yet emotive, Pryor is well on the way to conquering the music world as he has already achieved in film making.
