With a repertoire spanning over two decades, Scott Fisher has crafted an original sound that effortlessly blends jazz, rock, and indie. Originally hailing from Portland, Oregon, Fisher relocated to Los Angeles to further cultivate his music career. Networking with the right individuals allowed Fisher to move from the club scene he regularly toured to the recording studio to produce for various television shows.
Growing up with a French mother and an American father enabled Fisher to draw inspiration from various cultures. Fisher’s first exposure to music began when he studied classical piano from the exiled German concert pianist, Ilse Glassel. As a result, his early solo albums are very key-heavy and encompass everything from piano/pop to classical piano and Bossa Nova. Over the years, Fisher has exemplified that he is unafraid to test out different genres that may be outside of his comfort zone.
The latest chapter of Fisher’s impressive career begins with “The Great Unknown,” a hypnotic introduction to the singular colors the artist creates with his well-earned prowess. The musical prodigy weaves lo-fi warmth into a dynamically pleasing performance with soulful vocals and infectious grooves. The lush performance is a proper introduction to Fisher’s intricate fusion work, as “The Great Unknown” evokes familiar jazz tendencies while avoiding tropes like the plague. This song bursts with individuality, but it is not an exercise in Fisher’s range; it is more of a cathartic release. The awkward keys and soaring guitar riffs collide with the emotional vocal performance, allowing the artist to unburden himself while letting the listener see themselves in the tune. Fisher is back in a massive way, and the undeniable “The Great Unknown” is just the start of this new era.
