Artist Bio

Scott Ivey is a singer-songwriter at heart, but his convictions go deeper than that. It's a calling, not a hobby... It's a passion, not just a profession.

Scott started out playing youth groups with his high school band...

"Straight up rock... That's what we were." He remembers.

"We had a lot of fun with a lot of volume... We went from youth groups to bars to clubs to showcases to festivals... etc. The Robert Barnes Band was a good time, but it wasn't really 'about anything'."

The search for deeper meaning eventually lead to a band break up, but Scott continued on... His solo effort, "Come Back", became popular with a wide variety of fans, but never gained any real traction.

In the midst of becoming a dad twice over, Scott decided to pack up his performance hat, and go another route.

"I felt like, and I still believe, that God was calling me. When I got the call to move to California, we were beside ourselves..."

Scott became a worship pastor at a church in northern California, and after a few years moved to Alabama, and then to Texas.

"I look at these past several years as much more than leading music. My family and I were able to be used across the country and back again... I learned more about who I am and who God says I am, and I know that it was all planned out for us."

Scott and Alison had their third child in September of 2011, and it soon came time to make some tough life decisions. He took a year away from music ministry and created some time to rest, think about what God was asking him to do, and spend more quality time with family.

"That was a tough, but necessary time for me. It reminded me of who I am, and what I've been asked to do. It wasn't long before I felt God calling me back to a full-time position."

Scott recently took a position as the Worship Pastor for a church just outside of San Antonio, TX where he leads every Sunday.
