This Philadelphia minister and songwriter grew up in a home surrounded by love and filled with music. “As the middle child of three siblings, we would often travel across the country with my father and mother”, Scotton explains. “My father had his master’s degree in music and so lyrics, notes and melodies have always been an intrinsic part of my life. Growing up, I never knew what my gift truly was. As children, we were well known for accompanying my father with our harmonies, singing as a family. Because of dad’s teachings, learning about music was easy for me. I never gravitated to one instrument although I was intrigued by several. Namely, the piano, bass, drums, and trumpet. It wasn’t until later in life that I chose to focus on the piano. There has always been a melody in my heart and the desire to worship through song. It was later still, that I began to put down on paper what I was feeling inside. And as I began to write, the words just kept flowing. I think I’ve finally found my gift...WRITING! The songs that I’ve been inspired to write are a culmination of what I have felt inside of me for so many years. If God has given you something to say, say it. If He’s given you something to do, do it. If He’s given you something to write, WRITE IT!”
