Singer-songwriter Abbi Scott manages time on and off stage

When she’s not in the classroom or studying for her next test, she’s laying down tracks in the recording studio or singing on stage. Freshman Abbi Scott’s love for music and school brought her to Music City to study public relations. She got her start in music at a very young age, though. Scott was influenced by the music her parents listened to — a mix of ’80s Southern rock. By the time she turned 14, she was singing professionally. Scott now performs on college campuses and venues in the area. Though Scott said a day in her life can be a challenge, juggling school and a music career, she manages to hold a 3.5 GPA. “When it comes to classes and music, I devote a lot of time to each,” Scott said. “I’m very driven, so I make sure my grades are up.” But when she’s not doing school work, she said she is writing a new song or doing sound checks for a concert. Recently, Scott made an appearance at Lipscomb’s Relay for Life event and the benefit concert for Libraries of Africa at Shamblin Theater. She said that during each performance she “feels invisible.” Scott said she hopes all her fans are impacted by her music. To have a close relationship with her fans, she interacts with them on social media. “I believe it’s extremely important to run my own social media strictly because it shows your fans that you are really engaged with them,” Scott said. Scott’s new single “Flying” will be released April 7, 2015. For more information on Scott and her music, her website can be found here. Photo courtesy...
