His compositions have also been licensed on hundreds of television programs across major networks including NBC, ABC, Bravo, HGTV, MTV, and The Food Network. In addition, Scott maintains a catalog of more than 200 tracks available through leading music libraries.
Known for his versatility and creativity, Scott continually expands his scoring palette by incorporating unique instruments and technologies — from the guitarviol, a guitar-cello hybrid featured in the Game of Thrones score, to the Rotobow, a custom motorized bowing device for string instruments he developed to explore experimental and ambient soundscapes.
Scott is also deeply committed to collaborating with fellow LGBTQ+ artists and underrepresented filmmakers and theater artists, drawing inspiration from diverse voices and global perspectives. His international collaborations — spanning China, Spain, Sri Lanka, Finland, France, the Dominican Republic, the UK, and across the US — continue to enrich his sensitivity to storytelling and the unique role of film music.
