Scott has recently stepped into the role of composer and has scored seven feature films to date.She is also the composer on the new Amazon childrenʼs series Tumbleaf, having composed for 78 episodes to date.
Lisbeth began her career as a classical pianist headed for a concert career, but as soon as she could, ran away to California to literally find her voice. Someone heard her singing and playing piano for a modern dance class in the hills of Idyllwild and suggested her voice for a score by composer Hans Zimmer. That was all it took. Scottʼs uniquely moving and shiver-inducing voice was launched.
Her voice, songs and compositions are largely influenced by her upbringing and travels, which were steeped in every kind of music imaginable. She was surrounded by classical music as a child not only due to her piano studies, but also because her sister was a professional ballerina. Her parents were award winning ballroom dancers and exposed her to everything from the Mills Brothers to Peggy Lee, to Duke Ellington Judy Garland and Tommy Dorsey. Her Armenian grandparents sang her the songs and sounds of their country. A close family friend was a blues harmonica player and gave Lisbeth an in depth blues education that lead to a love of African rhythms and jazz. Scott spent many years studying African drumming with Baba Olatunji and several others. She also spent a year and half in London studying medieval music and traveled through Ireland for a long while to immerse herself in Celtic sounds. All along the way Scott picked up instruments and learned how to play them...6 and 12 string guitar, dulcimer, harmonium, and calimba to name a few.
This combination of sounds and influences translates into a uniquely mesmerizing and powerful sound. A sound that John Williams has called “absolutely ravishing” and Variety has called “...perfection”.
