SCOTT&LILA are an acoustic duo from Chicago/Paris based in Berlin. They met when Lila spontaneously joined Scott in 2019 while he was playing music on the streets of Berlin. They play their own songs with catchy vocal harmonies, accompanied by guitar and ukulele. Their feel-good music warms the hearts of their listeners and combines indie folk, blues and jazz with a fresh, modern twist. In 2019, SCOTT & LILA toured Europe and Asia. When the pandemic broke out in 2020, they were stuck in Sri Lanka. They embraced this unexpected turn of events and immersed themselves in songwriting while living in a small jungle village. They produced a wealth of new music and made captivating music videos. Upon their return to Berlin, SCOTT & LILA shared the stage with renowned artists: Anthony Lazaro, John Craigie, Beranger and The Hoosiers. The duo's music was regularly played on German radio "RBB" and they performed live on ZDF. Today, they thrill audiences with tours through Europe, the USA and South Korea. In 2023, Scott & Lila released a double single with Anthony Lazaro, which enjoyed international success and now has a million streams on Spotify. Their spontaneous street performances have earned them a huge following on TikTok, with numerous viral videos capturing their raw, authentic style. Their talent and hard work were recognized with a grant from "Initiative Musik" for their debut album, which led to a sold-out release show at Maschinenhaus in the Kulturbrauerei Berlin. Join SCOTT & LILA on their musical journey and experience the magic of their debut album, which will be released in September 2024.
