About Me

Inspiration is found everywhere; it's only a matter if you make the choice to look.

The following quotes summarize the way in which I live my own life:

"The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstacy, a friend is a lover and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create --so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off." -Pearl Buck

"Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made." - Oscar Wilde

"Music is proof of the existence of God."
-Vonnegut

"Love what you live, live what you love"
-scotto!

Scotto was born in New York, New Jersey raised. He now resides in California. Unlike most of the people from jersey, he doesn't come with much of an attitude. When not creating, performing, working, yoga'ing, running, etc, you can usually find him hanging with his awesome friends and/or reading a good book.
