Biography |
Scott Alan Stapp is a singer and songwriter, and a former
member of the band Creed.
His lyrics suggest Christian beliefs. He often chooses not
to talk about this on interview, preferring to let his
lyrics speak for themselves, but he has opened up to the
Christian press. He attended Lee College (now known as Lee
University) in Cleveland, Tennessee, where he was expelled
for marijuana usage. Scott attended Tallahassee Community
College and received an associates degree in the Arts. He
then attended the Florida State University, where Creed was
formed.
Stapp cites The Doors, particularly Jim Morrison, as one of
his principle musical influences, and performed with the
surviving members of the band for a televised concert in
1999, as well as the Stoned Immaculate: The Music of the
Doors tribute album.
He has announced a partnership with NASCAR that will see
tracks from his solo album, The Great Divide, used in spots
for the sport's upcoming Chase for the Championship. The
alliance culminated with Stapp performing the national
anthem at the Ford 400 race in Homestead, Florida.
On February 10, 2006, Stapp married Miss New York USA 2004
winner Jaclyn Nesheiwat in Miami, Florida. This is his
second marriage and her first. He was previously married to
Hillaree Burns for 16 months before divorcing in 1999. He
has a son from the first marriage, Jagger Stapp.
His debut solo album The Great Divide was released in the
U.S. on November 22, 2005, peaking at #19 on Billboard's Top
200 chart. However, due to certain controversies in his
private life and overall mixed reviews of the album, it has
sold poorly in context to the amount sold with Creed. |
