His unique sound brings an entertainment flavour that he can claim to be his very own. DEBUT ALBUM TO RADIO 1 IBIZA Upon graduating from the prestigious London Guitar Institute (now known as ICMP), Tim’s career first took off with the release of his fusion-rock debut titled 'Bald On The Inside', described as - "Impressive, world-class stuff" by Guitarist (magazine) This opened the door to working in collaboration with the legendary Radio 1 DJ, Judge Jules. They soon produced the track 'Puesta Del Sol' and then the following year ‘City Rockers’ which is remixed from the main melody of Tim’s track: ‘Ibiza’s Secret Garden’, blending Tim's distinctive Spanish guitar style with Jules' signature Trance and Techno beats. “Guitar man Tim wows Ibiza crowds” Manchester Evening News Brandishing his signature sparkly-pink Fender Telecaster laser guitar, Tim was flown out to Ibiza to play live on the party isle for the Radio 1 weekend. His blazing Latin-rock and funky-chops making a welcome addition to Jules' Balearic beats, inspired by the Ibiza experience; Tim started adding dance in to his compositions, his signature sound now dubbed: ‘Guitar Mashing’. NATIONAL PRESS SPOTLIGHT National press accolade soon followed: “It's not often we declare a guitar album to be outstanding, yet Tim Scott has come up with something that's both highly original and genuinely refreshing” by Guitar Techniques (magazine) “For a man who’s been frequently compared to some of history’s greatest guitarists, Tim Scott’s forward-thinking attitude towards dance music is not only commendable, but has assisted in producing some delectably unique music. Being compared to the likes of Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Steve Vai and Steve Lukather may have prompted a less ambitious musician to perpetually play it safe, something which Scott has absolutely failed to do” by Zavvi (Virgin Megastores) ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD As a fanatical electric guitar player, Tim fuses his passion for eclectic instrumental virtuosity into a tropical adventure with commercial House, Drum and Bass, Trance, EDM and Dubstep. “Scott is a genuine innovator.” CityLife His big vision to break genre boundaries, free to start an ultra-funky guitar groove experiment. “…even if you're not about to spend the night in a sleazy club in Ibiza this is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. What's more it's still technically breath-taking so none of the expertise is lost, it's just made accessible to a much wider audience.” Guitar Techniques This Manchester born musician has early memories of composing music. To date his solo discography contains eleven albums and thirty nine singles. Initially influenced by:- Joe Satriani, Gary Moore, Steve Vai, Steve Lukather, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck as his childhood guitar heroes, making the most of this inspiration he has working hard to create popular melodies; producing a unique and fresh sound that he can call all his own. More lately influenced by:- Deadmau5, Eric Prydz, Timmy Trumpet, CamelPhat, Calvin Harris and Fisher. Tim puts his unusual creativity down to the way he learns and writes best, by jamming, improvising and noodling over the records he loves. TOURS, FESTIVALS & EXCLUSIVE EVENTS Tim Scott, an exceptionally talented lead guitarist, originated something new when he started mixing his stunning guitar playing with a DJ set full of hands in the air moments. His popular live performances described simply as: “Live guitar mixed with an uplifting DJ set of dance pop anthems.” Tim plays alongside current Dance-Pop, as well as adding some carefully chosen 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s Pop, Rock, and Indie Anthems right through to 00’s Trance bangers; adding his Carlos Santana inspired Spanish guitar meets 80’s Top Gun style Rock guitar to create a unique show you will not find anywhere else. His mashups capture the imagination, keeping an audience on their feet and filling the dance floor. As an accomplished artist in his own right Tim adds his original tunes at the perfect moment just to add a higher personal value to any event you are planning. Tim plays over one hundred gigs a year varying from super clubs like:- Eden Ibiza, Ministry of Sound London, Pryzm Leeds and Pacha to very personal private events like:- weddings, birthdays and anniversaries, as well as large international brand corporate events.

Tim played at my husband’s 50th birthday party. He was absolutely fantastic. He judged the atmosphere and music perfectly, riffing along to popular tunes we could all dance to and then breaking out into amazing solos for us to worship. Guitar God! So much cooler than a playlist or DJ and my friends are still raving about it. Such a nice guy too, really organised so I didn’t need to stress beforehand. Very happy to recommend him, he’s brilliant.

After listening to Tim's music on Spotify and loving his unique style and incredible skill, my wife and I booked Tim to play at our wedding reception at Daisy Bank Manor earlier this year. Tim kicked off by playing one of his own tracks - Magnesium Black - for our first dance, which set things off to a great start! He played an absolutely brilliant set, full of energy all the way through and kept people on the dancefloor all evening right up until we were kicked out! We and our guests had a great time, with Tim playing a perfect mix of classic dance hits, crowd pleasers, and some of his own songs, all with his unique guitar mashing to keep things really interesting! Ahead of the wedding, Tim was very helpful all the way through, with prompt, clear communication, and really took the time to get an idea of what kind of music we wanted. We highly recommend Tim Scott Guitar if you're after a brilliantly energetic and unique party! Thanks Tim Scott Guitar!
