Scott Shields is a composer, songwriter and producer.
Living and working in Glasgow from his newly built studio, Scott has most recently completed the score for the Lionsgate feature ENDANGERED SPECIES directed by M.J. Bassett and due for release later this year. Also marked for release in 2021 is the heartwarming feature documentary MEN WHO SING directed by Dylan Williams.
Last year Scott delivered the score for the feature ROGUE, starring Megan Fox, also directed by M.J. Bassett who Scott first collaborated with on HBO flagship series STRIKEBACK - for which Scott has composed the music since it’s conception in 2010.
A pioneering crossover artist Scott enjoyed great success in the music industry, most famously as writing/production partner of Joe Strummer in his band The Mescaleros, before establishing himself as a pan-genre film score composer. As a songwriter Scott co-wrote the Oscar shortlisted song ‘Only You’, performed by Sinead O’Connor for THE YOUNG VICTORIA and has provided feature songs and bespoke soundtrack material for many hit films such as BLACK HAWK DOWN, THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY and MR & MRS SMITH, starring Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.
Scott is available to set his creativity to a feature or high-end tv drama and is equally as comfortable with the more subtle, melodic arrangements as he is with fast, edgy, action scores.
