About Me

Scott G, who records under the name The G-Man, made history by giving his dance/trance music away on the Internet, encouraging filesharing of his work, and even sending individual tracks to DJs and remixers so they could create new versions of his songs. This resulted in club play, airplay, an indie record deal, and worldwide press attention. Together with Doug Colosio (Merle Haggard's keyboard player), he owns Golosio Music Publishing.Scott is a creative director of the National Association of Record Industry Professionals (NARIP). He writes columns for Music Industry Newswire, Advertising Industry Newswire, and eNewsChannels.His songs have been called "Moby meets Bowie" (by producer Pete Anderson), "Moby meets Devo" (by TV producer Paul Rich), and "The rhythm of machines with melodies of the heart" (by music writer Janis Amy).
