Scott Krokoff is an independent singer-songwriter from Queens, New York. He began his music career as a singer and songwriter in a band called Equinox, which had its beginnings in Binghamton, New York, and later became a frequent performer in the New York City scene during the 1990’s. He is an accomplished acoustic and electric guitar player and is currently perfecting his skills on the bass guitar and piano.
Scott has long dreamed of pursuing a music career. However, like many others before him who tried to take the responsible and practical route, Scott completed law school while he was still a member of Equinox and began a promising career as a tax attorney with some of New York City’s largest and most prestigious firms. Scott never gave up his dream, though, and in February 2008, Scott resigned from his full-time law position to live his dream. Now he spends his days playing, composing, and managing his business (and working part-time to subsidize his income). He also started his own record label, Hypochondriac Records, and publishing company, Worry Bone Publishing (hmmm…can you guess that Scott has a worrying problem?). Scott’s passion for music coupled with his sharp mind for business and numbers put his independent venture in a position primed for success. |

Scott is proud to present his debut CD, entitled “A Better Life,” which he recorded while still working full-time. Produced, engineered and mixed by long-time studio veteran Bob Stander at VuDu Studios, and mastered by Gene Paul of DB Plus, A Better Life contains 13 radio-friendly tracks featuring catchy, energetic acoustic rhythms spanning the genres of folk, pop and rock. Taken together, these songs highlight Scott’s diversity and showcase his ear for melody. Further adding to the organic and diverse atmosphere, Scott is backed on the album by several notable musicians including former Wings drummer Steve Holley (also known for his work with Dar Williams), keyboardist Paul Errico (known for his work with Steve Forbert), legendary jazz saxophonist Mario Cruz (who has toured with the likes of Jaco Pastorius and Bruce Springsteen), pedal steel virtuoso John Widgren, veteran drummer Shawn Murray (of Cadillac Moon fame from the LI music scene), percussionist/vocalist John Michel and guitarist/vocalist Mark Newman (a well known singer-songwriter in his own right). People of all ages have found his music appealing, relating to his music not only because of the terrific rhythm and energy each song possesses but also because he represents the desire we each have to dream big and live life to the fullest. |
