Scott Blackwell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scott Blackwell is a Christian dance music artist, generally credited with being the first artist to produce such music for the Christian marketplace.[1][2] In addition to releasing his own albums, Blackwell has produced many other albums, and has founded several record labels.[3]
Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Blackwell got his start as a disc jockey. He eventually obtained a position supervising MYX Records, a division of Frontline Records.[3][4]
Upon leaving Frontline, Blackwell founded N•Soul Records. By 1995, he produced eleven projects for N•Soul Records, and had acquired over fifty general market production credits.[5] N•Soul became best known for the Nitro Praise series, which incorporated praise and worship songs to various forms of dance music.[3] Blackwell left N•Soul in 1999, citing concerns about the vision of the company's leadership. He then founded two record labels,[which?] to focus on different genres of dance music.[6]
Blackwell continued to perform at clubs, in the greater Los Angeles area.[citation needed]
