author, poet, promoter, graphic designer, music columnist, songwriter, photographer and sometimes actor
scott faithfull seems to be a man of various trades. he has been an author and poet for the past 22 years and has written such books as “my dearest ghostâ€, “under the burnt leavesâ€, “i am†and teamed up in 2006 with fellow authors michael w. johnson and gloriane for “the virtual chemists†. in late 2008 he will be publishing his first full collection of work titled “until i may rest in peace: the collectionâ€, which will feature all of his work from 1986 until current time including a lot of material never before published. he also teamed up with angelina blanchard as co-author of her book debut “gathering petals among the thornsâ€, which was released in march 2008.
he is also a former record label executive/co-owner having run his own label for several years before leaving it all behind to move onto other various projects such as being a music promoter and working with various labels both indie and major, including warner music group, universal records, epic records, virgin records, maverick records, columbia records and aware records. at the current time scott still works on various promotion campaigns when time allows but more so on the indie music scene, which he feels is more important these days having said that “indie music is far more worth checking out these days as there’s no corporate bullshit…just awesome music!â€.
in 2005 he began his music column “infectious addictionâ€, which appeared as part of the online e-zine “underground window†and there his column found great success having reviewed both major and indie releases such as trouble over tokyo, kate bush, me talk pretty and madonna. due to various circumstances the column was short lived and only lasted a few months but in october 2007 the re-launched and scott promises not to let anything stop it this time around. along with his various reviews he also plans to feature guest reviewers, a top 5 itunes list and some other surprises.
