His soulful combination of jazz and funk create an explosion of high energy grooves that will make you fall in love with the saxophone all over again. Paddock’s resume covers the musical gamut of performance, oftentimes pushing the perceived limits of the saxophone into uncharted territory.

Scott is an internationally acclaimed sax player with a signature sound and style that has gained him fans and followers from around the globe. As a leader, Scott has released two CDs, as well as a steady stream of popular content on his social media platforms, where he has amassed millions of views and nearly 100,000 followers. Scott’s most recent world tour was as the featured sax player with Italian pop legend, Eros Ramazzotti, where he performed in 30 countries on 4 continents to sold out arenas. Scott is also very active in the recording studio and has done session work for several movies & TV shows. 

In addition to Scott’s performing career, he is also in high demand as a music educator. He is known for his ability to breakdown complex musical ideas into easily digestible bite sized portions that musicians at any level are able to understand. Scott is regarded as one of the top saxophone teachers on YouTube, and has developed a large and dedicated following. In October of 2020, Scott launched the Scott Paddock Sax School which is an online membership school that teaches students in a step by step process how to become better sax players.
