Biography

Before "The Exies", short for "The Existentialists”, quietly disbanded in 2011, they had multiple radio hits including their song “Ugly” from 3rd album Head for the Door which has over 13 million all time streams and continues to grow. Now, 20 years after their initial album, Inertia, come’s “Spirits High.” The meaning behind this song is simple “You are always where you're supposed to be even when you question it,” but can be much more difficult to live by. “This song is something that just came to me one cold morning in the fall of 2020” says Scott. “It wasn’t planned. It took some time to manifest but it was true in every sense of what I was going through in 2020 months before. It developed slowly over a year and a half as I was in no rush. Why should I be? I hadn’t put any music out with my voice about something that was personal to me in 15 years. I never intended to release music again but this just kept crawling back into my life and haunting me to finish it. I literally tried many times to ignore it and I even gave up twice before its completion. But in the end the song, like words in a diary, had to be written down so I could get it out and move on.”
