Scott Darlow

Scott Darlow is a singer, guitarist and didgeridoo player from Melbourne, Australia.

Born on 22 May 1983 in Melbourne, Australia to Salvation Army parents, the second of four children, Darlow moved to Hong Kong at five years of age. He spent the next six years there attending Beacon Hill Primary School before returning to Melbourne to begin high school. Two years at Essendon Grammar were then followed by another move to Perth, Western Australia, where he attended Hollywood High School. After this, he moved back to Melbourne where he completed school at Strathmore High School.

Following on from high school, Darlow began a teaching degree at RMIT. During this time, he also worked in bars and pubs, including a two-year stint at Melbourne Hilton on the Park. Upon completion of his university studies, Darlow worked at three high schools and one primary school, teaching music. After two and a half years of full-time teaching, Darlow resigned to focus on writing music, recording and touring.

Darlow started playing the cornet at five years of age. With both of his parents being Salvation Army Officers, his first musical experiences were of watching the brass band at Hawthorn Salvation Army. He is said to have fallen in love with music from that moment on, determined to play in the band just like the men he watched each Sunday. He was given a cornet at five years of age, and started playing in a brass band at age seven. From there, he learned to play Beach Boys and Beatles songs. Darlow continued to play the trumpet throughout high school, along with classical guitar. It was also at this time that he started playing trumpet and saxophone in bands around Melbourne. Darlow is said to be proficient on the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, clarinet, didgeridoo, piano and guitar, as well as being a singer.
