Being a singer was something Lisbeth Scott only dreamed about as a child. Raised as a classical pianist headed for a concert career practicing hours a day, she ran away to California as soon as she could and began to discover her voice. Someone heard her singing and playing piano for a modern dance class in the hills of Idyllwild and suggested her voice for a score by composer Hans Zimmer. That was all it took. Scotts uniquely moving and sweetly melodic voice has been heard on literally hundreds of films. John Williams wrote a 5 minute solo specifically for her in the score for Spielbergs film Munich. She was the featured vocalist and co-lyricist for the John Debney score to the film The Passion of The Christ . She was the featured vocalist and songwriter for the Disney film The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. While her film work was gaining momentum, Scott was busy honing her craft as an artist in her own right. She recorded and produced four critically acclaimed CDs of her solo work and was the featured vocalist and co-writer for Paul Schwartz RCA releases State of Grace(I and II) and Earthbound, all of which spent more than 10 weeks on Billboards Top Ten list. Scott has toured the world as both a solo artist and a featured vocalist for Paul Schwartz, John Debney, and Harry Gregson Williams performing with a 100 piece symphony orchestra one night and accompanying her own singing on piano, guitar and harmonium and dulcimer the next.
Back in the days of being a dance accompanist Scott made a decision to use her voice as an instrument of healing no matter the context in which it appeared. Moving people and opening their hearts through the use of her voice continues to be her main focus. Her recent recording Rough and Steep is a starkly beautiful collection of both traditional and original non-denominational spirituals featuring Scotts voice and piano work. It is scheduled for a Summer 2006 release. Scott has also recently scored her first film with composer John Debney, Ithuteng, which was a wonderful experience!
Announcing the release of Peace On Earth... Lisbeth's first ever Holiday collection!
Wow, your cover of "Here's to You" with Harry Gregson-Williams was amazing. You helped make Metal Gear Solid 4 even more special. You'll soon have many new fans thanks to your song in MGS4. You should update your site recognizing this masterpiece.
I just came back from your website, I love the new look, green is beautiful! I'm so happy with all the good news. I'm really exited about The 10000 Steps and the songs with Bliss, can't wait! Oh and to learn you worked with Harry again on Prince Caspian! I was hoping you would since I heard you on Gone Baby Gone but then again, one never knows right? So to read that you're on this soundtrack, hell, I'm even more looking forward to it than to the film :D You two are my favourite musicians so whenever you work together it's just the very best of treat :) By the way, I'll go and watch Shutter as soon as it comes out, can't miss an occasion to laugh & hear you at the same time, right ;) You can't see but all this news just put this really big smile on my face :D
Thank you for making my day :) Have a great one too!

PS: What happened to sweet little Niff last month? Well at least she's healthy now that's what matters :) I can't wait to have my own Chani (it will be my dog's name when I finally have her he he he!)
