Early life

Scott Burbery (born September 8th 1996), known professionally as Scotty

Bizzle or Scotty B for short, is a Dutch DJ, record producer and musician.

Scotts early life consisted of him learning to play guitar at age 8. In 2004,

he expressed interest in becoming a DJ after seeing Martin Garrix perform

at Miami Ultra fest. He took particular inspiration from the track "Traffic",

prompting him to download specialist software, FL Studio, and enabling

him to start composing. In 2013, he graduated from the Herman Brood

Academy, a production school in Utrecht. Burbery ghost writes tracks for

other artists, and despite this, only one in fifty of his tracks have made it

out to the public. In an interview when asked about his social class,

Burbery said middle-class. He also said his 'dream mentor' was David

Guetta.

Burbery was discovered by Tisto, whom he described as inspirational,

humble and legendary. He had his beginnings with the songs "BAM" (with

Jax Jones) and "Just Some Base", collaboration with TV Noise that

appeared on the compilation album Bass Masters Essential, Volume 2. He

signed to Spinnin' Records in 2012, releasing "Fading" through the label.

In 2013, Burbery co-released "Horizon" with Jim Jackosn on Maiki Vanics

label. He gained fame through his own solo release "Need it" released on

19 July 2012 on Dutch record label Spinnin' Records, becoming a hit in a

great number of charts in Europe, and became the youngest person to

reach the No. 5 spot on Beatport. The track appears on Hardwell's album

Hardwell presents 'Unraveled Volume 7'. On 27th September 2013,

Burbery released a remix of "Project B" by Calvin Harris and Steve Akoi

which quickly hit No. 5 on the Beatport charts. He appeared on DJ

Magazine's top 100 DJs list in 2013 as a new entry at number 40. In 2014,

he appeared on DJ Magazine's top 100 DJs list at number.

Who were your musical idols when you were growing up?

Aha thats an easy question... It would defiantly have to be Martin Garrix.

That man is more than just my idol he was and still is my Hero, I aspired to

become like him. He wasnt just talented he had a gift for music, every

track was original and Ever since I started Djing it has been my dream to

release a track with Martin Garrix.

What do you like to wear when you are performing?

To be honest I like to keep it very casual, I know a lot of artists have a

particular style whenever they are on stage. But the thing is Im normaly

playing an hour long track and dnacing about so whats the point in

wearing designer clothes if they are just going to get hot and sweaty

hahaha. Some simple jeans and a black shirt is what you will see me in

9/10 times.
So how did you start DJing?

Its funny you ask that you know from a young age ive always had a love

for music, when I was 8 I learned to play the guitar and was constantly in

my room listening to all sorts of music, it wasnt until I was 12 or 13 when

I really got into EDM, I fell in love with the genre in a heartbeat I was

blown away with all the cool noises you could make with just a computer

and after listening to a lot of big time Djs I thought why not give it a go so

I downloaded a software and started producing my own tracks.

Any significant recordings?

Definitely would have to be Need it that is by far the song I am most

proud of and it shows as its my #1 song in the charts at the moment

ahahaha

Have you had any Major performances?

Tomorrowland enough said, aha Tomorrowland was absolutely

phenomenal the crowd, the music and the vibe is magical and that

experience cant be replicated anywhere else in the world! This was also

my very first performance so its very special to me, I honestly cant put it

in words how it feels to be in front of thousands no hundreds of

thousands of people blasting my own music which I spent hours making in

a dark room by myself hahaha! I didnt realise how many fans I had until I

performed at Tomorrowland Im pretty sure I signed more autographs than

I have had hot dinners! But I didnt care the fact that my music reaches
out to so many people and makes them happy is one of the best feelings

in the world.

What is your biggest secret?

Hahaha Oh god Well this might shock some people but I only have 9

toes when I was younger I was in an accident which resulted in one of toes

needing to be amputated, lets just say it wasnt pretty.
