Horace Derayco Scott

HoraceDeraycoScottI am so very proud to join this amazing group of musicians. I can easily say that this is a professional high point for me. Before I attempt to recount my professional achievements I have to mention the two most important personal moments in my life. The first is the day I met and later married my beautiful and precious wife, Susan. The second would be the births of my three wonderful children.

From Mariah Carey & Kelly Price (live at St. John’s Divine Christmas Concert) to Ben Folds (1993), Lenny White (1988) & Pic Conely (1994) I have been blessed to have worked with some of today’s finest artists.

While at C.C.N.Y working towards my bachelors in music I had the opportunity to study alongside Arturo O’ Farrill . Arturo had composed a special arrangement of the schools Alma mata song “Oh Lavender” that we performed during a spring Commencement ceremony.
C.C.N.Y provided the environment that allowed me the honor and privilege to study under jazz vocalist Sheila Jordan & the legendary bassist Ron Carter.

In 1991-1992 I toured the U.S. and Canada with the first Equity Broadway production of The Buddy Holly Story.

Also, in 1991 U.K. Pop sensation Kenny Thomas recorded my song “Girlfriend” co written with R & B producer Bert Price. The album was entitled “Voices” and went double platinum.

In 1996 I landed a position at WPIX-TV and in 2000 I was hired as a full time Engineer.

In 1997 I broke into the Billboards pop 100 singles chart with a remake of the BJ Thomas / Blue Suede hit “Hooked on a Feeling”.

In 2009 I released my first project as a record label executive “Green Heart”. The roster of musicians that I had the pleasure of working with were as follows: Toninho Horta, Nilson Matta, Romero Lubambo, Ze’Luis, Paulo Braga and Jerry Jemmot.

Today I am a proud partner in a new and exciting music label City Boys Mike Productions L.L.C.

Today I am introducing myself as the newest member of The City Boys.

Today is a really good day.
