When was the last time you ruled a crowd? How long has it been since roses were cast at your feet? Have you ever walked into a packed restaurant and been escorted to the best table by a stunned maitre'd? Ever sauntered up to the bar and owned the blonde six chairs down just by the way you tilt your head? Can you even begin to imagine what she would do to you if only you would let her?
Tucked securely away somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area, Assembly Line Studios West is doppleganger to Whiteline Allstar Kevin 131’s D.C. based camp. The left coast has often been a campground for J. Scott G., but travel to exotic locales is never out of the question. He will disappear for days, sometimes weeks at a stretch, and reappear with new scars and new sounds. To see him unpack is a bit unnerving - somehow, upon return, his suitcase is overstuffed with women's underwear (not in his size) and odd metal canisters with the faint aroma of sunscreen and vodka. This level of jet-setting would drive many to distraction, but Scott handles it all with aplomb; in fact, the schedule only seems to drive him harder - By his own account, Scott rarely sleeps more than two or three hours a night and still maintains the energy to push forward on public and private fronts.
And so the sound continues. Several projects are ramping up for Scott, with a new Summer Channel album in the works. Co-writing and production finished on the new Soul In The Machine record, and buzz hovers about a collaboration with 2009 American Idol - Adam Lambert, that should blow everyone away and set fire to the stagnating world of pop music. Look to the future for excitement. Look to the past for mystery. Look to J. Scott G. for the sound.
