Training
Scott first studied with his mother. Once Scott demonstrated talent, his uncle, Donald Harrison, Jr. began to teach him. By the age of fourteen, Christian auditioned for New Orleans Center of Creative Arts. He was accepted to the high school for the arts and excelled under the direction of jazz music program directors, Clyde Kerr, Jr. and Kent Jordan.
After completing his high school education and graduating with honors, Scott attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. He received a scholarship and studied under the direction of Charlie Lewis, Dave Santoro, and Gary Burton. Scott majored in Professional Music with a concentration in Film Scoring. Scott completed the five-year program in three years, while touring with Donald Harrison, Jr.'s quartet, his own band, and writing, producing and marketing his self-titled first recording.
