Il a aussi produit deux albums solo, Bring 'em All In et Still Burning. Scott est un chanteur, un guitariste et un pianiste accompli ; et il a joué un grand nombre d'autres instruments tels que du bouzouki (famille du luth), de la batterie, et de l'Orgue Hammond sur ses albums.

Sa carrière musicale a démarré dans les années 1970 et continue aujourd'hui. Scott a été décrit par Peter Anderson comme « a madman or genius, depending on your point of view » (« un fou ou un génie, selon le point de vue ») dans le magazine Record Collector, et est bien connu pour ses changements radicaux de genre musical tout au long de ce que Scott appelle sa « allegedly unorthodox » (« prétendument peu orthodoxe ») carrière.

Scott est divorcé (d'Irene Keogh) et il s'est remarié avec l'artiste japonaise Megumi Igarashi.
