Scott Bourget

Hip-hop and R&B find stunning new forms of expression in the works of Scott Bourget. Bringing his considerable talent to bear on these mammoth genres, he has discovered fresh declarations of artistry within the realm of these groove-laden styles. Bourget's music is truly the mark of an artist dedicated to originality and individuality.

There are so many emotions and each of them expressible via music. Ultimately, what's important is that the emotion is felt, whatever that emotion is. "Depending on the type of music, my emotions run from happy to sad, mellow to excited. My emotions are what the music is saying at that moment and what is going on in my life." The vital thing for Bourget is to convey whatever the emotional current is in his life during the moment of creation, be it happy or sad or angry or loving. The evocation of emotion in the audience is paramount.

Much of Bourget's artistic success is rooted in his focus on the emotive quality of music and the fact that he defines music based on its ability to generate such a response in the audience. "Music can be anything that moves you. It can be playing on a bucket or a DJ making a rhythm while scratching a record." If it's got a groove and if it makes you feel something, then it's music. And his purity of vision has brought Bourget to a vibrant place in the creative world as he writes and performs the kind of music that inspires others.

As for his own inspiration, it comes from the very act of creation itself. Again, it's about purity of experience. The very fact of bringing new music into existence is motivation enough to get the creative process rolling. "The struggle, the love of creating something from nothing ... the anticipation of a creation and its completion ... my influences come from me and my love of music."
