His mother is a music teacher, and his father studied music as a young boy. Scott's exposure to music began at a young age, and he went on to learn many instruments, specializing in the Bass Guitar and Cornet.

Later in 2011, Scott played the role of Scott in the production "Frankenstein's Wedding...Live in Leeds," where his character was a Chav who teased Frankenstein for his looks.
In September 2011, Scott moved to London to pursue his passion for musical theater further, enrolling in a Foundation course in Musical Theater at Mountview Academy of Theater Arts. He also continued dance lessons at the renowned Pineapple Dance Studio.
