Scotty grew up halfway between Michigan's dance music epicenters of Detroit and Ann Arbor. In the 90's he could be found most weekends at spots like the Packard Plant, Timbo's Hall, The Theatre, Under The Bridge, The Firehouse and many more learning from the best the birthplace of Techno and neighbor of House had to offer. With a strong musical background, he quickly honed a DJ skill set and was fortunate enough early on in his career to play alongside such legends as James Pennington and Mike Huckaby as well as a vast majority of the midwestern USA's talent.

In the first half of the next decade he bounced between Detroit and Ann Arbor playing venues like Oslo, Goodnite Gracie, Live, Alvin's and numerous house parties and underground events. During this time Scotty was also a "second wave" resident of the notorious Untitled parties and worked closely with local labels Moodgadget and Ghostly International. He is extremely proud to have amazing DJs and producers like Matthew Dear, Ryan Elliot, Seth Troxler, Carlos Souffront, Derek Plaslaiko, Mike Servito, Jakub Alexander (Aarnio/Heathered Pearls), Eric Cloutier, Chuck Hampton (Gay Marvine), BMG and Todd Osborne amongst his peers.

In 2006 Scotty moved the 283 miles west to Chicago where he resides today. Since then he has played most of the major venues and parties including SmartBar, Sonotheque, Boom Boom Room, Beauty Bar and Lumen with artists like Trus' Me, Chez Damier, Funk D'Void, Jacques Renault, Hot Chip, Classixx, Simian Mobile Disco and The Twelves. He has also continued his production career which began in 2006 with "Don't Let Go" on the Moodgadget Records compilation The Rorsharch Suite and also includes "Voyage Into The Dark" from 2008's The Synchronicity Suite (also released on Ghostly International). He currently has an upcoming release slated to drop this winter on Chicago's Fresh Meat Records under his The Cushion guise.

As a DJ, Scotty's credo is that anything goes; music is music and there is only good and bad. His goal is to blend genres and styles to create boogie down atmospheres for both the music-snob and the fish-out-of-water patron. With an affinity for long sets, he likes to take his audiences on a journey of music new and old from the well-known to the obscure. With a keen eye for the mood of the room, his timing is impeccable and his grooves are spot on. As a producer he hopes to create music that he feels fits his DJ ethos and is an expression of his ideas and emotions.
