Scott W has been teaching guitar, bass, and songwriting classes to children and adults of all ages for over thirty years. As a young adult, he was hired as a music teacher at Sports and Arts Center at Island Lake, a summer camp in rural Pennsylvania. Scott’s natural talent and magnetic personality was quickly rewarded as he got promoted to the music department head during his third year working at the camp. His adventures at Island Lake came full circle as his very first solo performance was actually there as a young camper!

After graduating from the University of Michigan in 2003, Scott made the brave trek out to LA to pursue his own rock and roll dreams, and has been here ever since. In late-2003, he began playing in The City Drive, a pop-rock/pop-punk band with an ardent fan base. In 2004, the band signed with Sony and began a whirlwind of touring and playing music. After 4 years with The City Drive, Scott decided to part ways and develop his own project, Lido Beach. As regular performers at The Roxy, the Troubadour, and The Mint, Lido Beach also placed songs in "The Super Bowl," The NCAA Men’s “Final Four,” and various other television shows and movies. Currently, you can find Scott passionately teaching guitar, performing in backyards and on stages at private parties and events, or at home spending time with his family.

I have been playing the guitar since my teens and started teaching several years after. I was a counselor at a music camp and then I became the department head.

I signed a major label deal in my early-20s. I have written songs that have been featured in "The Super Bowl" and the NCAA "Final Four". I constantly listen to music and attempt to perfect my craft lyrically and melodically.
