From humble beginnings to performing in front of millions of people, Scott has appealed to the working class, the average Joe. Born in Cleveland OH to Eddie & Cathy Savol, he is the second of 4 children (Stacy, Patricia & Michael). His love for music started at an early age of 5 when he sang in his sister's baptism. By age 7, he was singing duets with his aunt. In highschool he had some vocal training when he joined the school's choir & also learned how to play the piano & trumpet. After getting his GED, he worked at various odd jobs from working at a pizza parlor to being a security guard for a warehouse place & a corrections officer with the county jail. A stroke of luck lead him to audition in Cleveland in the summer of 2004 for AI when they increased the age limit to 28. His passion & determination to reach his dream has been appropriately summed up by Paula in one word, "Moxie," according to the American Heritage Dictionary it means, "the ability to face difficulty with spirit, nerve, guts." As a single parent to his 4 year old son, Brandon, his mind is set towards reaching that goal. He said before, "I want to give him the kind of life that I didn't have." He just finished touring with the rest of the top 10 AI4 Idols. He recently bought a guitar & is trying to get some tutoring help from his buddy, Bo. Things are moving so fast that before he left his hometown last June, he also proposed to his sweetheart, Rochelle. Scott, God is leading the way for you. He has seen you throughout your life's trials & heartaches. It is now time for you to shine.
"Singing Can Overcome Turbulent Times
Towards Happiness Ordinary Man Arduoulsy Seeking
Success And Victory Over Love"
