Career
Music
Scott is a reggae artist who has worked with renowned industry figures, such as Salaam Remi, noted for her collaborations with Amy Winehouse and the Fugees. She has released music under the independent London-based label, Pecking Records, which aided Scott in establishing her career.
Scott's debut EP, Forever in Love, released in April 2018, marked her introduction into the British reggae scene. Her first album, Windrush Baby, was released in September 2023 following over five years of collaboration with producer Rory StoneLove. Released on StoneLove's Black Dub label, the album addresses themes of heritage, resilience, and cultural identity, while the record's title pays homage to the Caribbean side of her dual heritage - her grandparents were part of the “Windrush generation”.
In September 2024, Scott performed at the Sky Arts Awards alongside notable acts, including The Darkness, Slash, Brian Johnson, Ren, The Three Sopranos, and The Kanneh-Masons. In March 2025 her song Dod o’r Galon (Coming from the Heart) attained the No.
