Scott Billington has over 100 albums to his credit, including two Grammy winners, ten Grammy nominees, and many other award winners, record producer Scott Billington balances a broad musical background and a keen ear with a knack for bringing out the best in the artists with whom he works.

Scott makes records which are renowned not only for their production values, but for their soulfulness.

As half of the duo Tangle Eye, he has brought an uncommonly organic sensibility to the art of the remix.

Scott has also been active in the music industry as a writer, multi-media author, graphic designer and musician.

Scott was involved early-on with such roots music innovators as Buckwheat Zydeco (his first national album, which was a Grammy nominee), the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Beau Jocque.

For Rounder Records, he created the label’s highly-regarded Modern New Orleans Masters series.

Newsweek called the series, 'the best possible introduction to the deep, rich world of pop music made in New Orleans'.
