Scott Stein is 26-year-old pianist, composer, music teacher, and singer / songwriter based in New York City. He was born and raised in Akron, Ohio where he studied under local legend Pat Pace during his formative years. He went on to study at The Ohio State University where he received his B.M. in Composition and his B.A. in Jewish Studies in 2006. While attending Ohio State, Scott received numerous awards for his piano skills and compositions, including the Ruth Friscoe Prize for Jazz Composition in 2005 and 2006. He studied piano with Mark Flugge and Bobby Floyd as well as the late Hank Marr and studied composition with Marc Ainger and Donald Harris. During his time in Columbus, Scott was an active part of the local music scene, having released three albums of original songs in three years - Temporary Romance (2004), Live at the 5th Ave. Coffee Shop (2005) and Two Lane Heartache Waltz (2006). He earned significant airplay on Akron's 91.3 FM and played many different clubs in Akron and Columbus.
In 2007, Scott was awarded the Guild of Temple Musicians Young Composer Award for his choral piece, Shirat HaYam, which is being published by Transcontinental Publications in the coming year. That summer, he relocated to New York City where he has become a very active part of the local scene. In addition to playing such venues as the Living Room, Bitter End, and Rockwood Music Hall as a singer / songwriter, he can also be seen playing with alt-country rockers The Ramblers and songwriter Shanna Zell. Among the other NYC artists he has worked with are: The Shells, Chaz Langley, Jeff Litman, Jenna Torres, Lilian Borunda, and Food Will Win the War.
In May 2009, Scott released a brand new EP entitled "Jukebox", his first since relocating to New York. He produced the album along with Jeremiah Birnbaum and Aaron Nevezie, who engineered the project at The Bunker Studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Some of the songs have already garnered spots on local music podcasts such as Harris Radio, Radio Crystal Blue, and Nefarious Bovine Radio (NBR).
In addition to his work as a singer / songwriter and professional side-man, Scott works as a freelance accompanist and piano instructor. Some of his recent collaborations have included appearances with Broadway star Rachel York and world-renowned cantor Alberto Mizrahi. He currently resides on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
