About this Artist

Weldon Scott, 23, is a multi-instrumentalist and composer based in Los Angeles, California. Born in Houston, Texas, Scott was first introduced to music at the age of four, where he attended a Mommy-And-Me class centered around the piano. His love for the instrument grew as he got older. As a teenager, Scott attended the prestigious High School for The Performing and Visual Arts (HPVA), where he deepened his love and understanding of Jazz. It was also during his time at HPVA where the musician learned how to play bass, which would soon become his primary instrument.

Scott’s keen understanding of Jazz, as well as Black American Music as a whole, has afforded him a myriad of opportunities, including performing at the Jazz Education Network with Kirk Whalum “Gospel to Jazz”, the Pointer Sisters, Jason Moran with the Houston Da Camera Series, Leslie Drayton Quintet, Azar Lawrence, Marvin Smitty Smith, Javon Jackson and others . On June 11, 2021, Scott released his debut EP Here, I Am, a 25-minute reflection of the artist’s time spent in the 2020 Lockdown.
