a hint of country - and a whole

A hint of country and a whole lot of rock n' roll clearly defines the powerhouse vocals of New Jersey native singer and songwriter, Scott DeCarlo.

Scott DeCarlo distinctively paints the picture of his life's undeniable moments through his music. His irrepressible spirit and confident charisma has taken him to performing the rooms of popular local clubs, which were once only thought to be an unattainable dream; and that is only the beginning for this aspiring artist.

Going through high school DeCarlo scripted all of his music as if writing for a big stage show. "I would wake-up the next day, read what I had written and throw it away," stated DeCarlo. It was not until he was in his early twenties when his writing included a newfound confidence. The once passionate feelings and emotions put into lyrics came together to give DeCarlo the material he longed for to put into his performance. His pursuit to professionally showcase and highlight his natural gift as a singer and songwriter took stage.

DeCarlo does not put a specific definition on his writing style, but feels it reflects his everyday life. Uniquely by day he is a police sergeant in East Rutherford, New Jersey, and he is studying for his degree in Homeland Security. When free time opens up, he expresses himself through the lyrics he writes and his performance makes it all come to life. "My writing now is never forced, but it is also never predictable," says DeCarlo. "One minute I want to help someone to get their point across, and then the next I am writing about being fearless, you just never can tell!"

They say time flies, and after eight years of lyrical vision it appears that people are starting to notice. In the spring of 2008 the producer of Dream On! an exciting new project that pays tribute the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr, recognized DeCarlo's talent and asked him to contribute his awe-inspiring song Believe to their international creative two CD compilation. He wrote Believe, a commanding song a few years ago (music by Sahaj Ticotin of the band Ra) with profound emotion and intensity that will leave you wanting more; talk about having a dream!

As of January 2009, Dream On! is available for free downloadable MP3s on www.thedreamcontinued.org and http://cdbaby.com/cd/dreamon. In lieu of paying for the music, the "user" will be invited to donate to one (or more) of several charitable organizations designated towards this project. DeCarlo and the other artists on this compilation have donated their music so that their interpretations of Dr. King's powerful message will continue to inspire others. The styles of music range from soulful rhythm and blues, to heartfelt folk, to upbeat Indie rock. DeCarlo is just one of the featured independent artists that share their desire to showcase their talents to promote positive change.

Music was something that Scott and his two brothers were raised on. They grew up listening to a lot of different genres of music; however he fondly remembers the sounds of doo-wop, rock and roll, and some country. He has been influenced by music greats like Foreigner, Van Halen, Queen, David Bowie, Vince Gill, and Garth Brooks, just to name a few.

"When you wake-up from your dream and you realize reality is now taking over when do you stop dreaming, hoping and believing you have so much more to tell the world and contribute? I say, you just can't stop me," declares DeCarlo. Collaborating with the superstars of music like Bruce Springsteen and Bono are great heights for an artist on the rise, but with music pulsing through his veins the prize begins with the recognition and first and foremost, the record deal to broaden his audiences. DeCarlo is like a cork on a bottle; he keeps the talent he oozes close to his heart but get ready to watch him explode when the world is immersed in the talent of this entertainer
