Scott Michael Bennett in Concert

Scott Michael Bennett is an international Christian recording artist known for his passionate music expression and deeply moving concerts. His talent was discovered when he was a teenager at which point he began to focus his gift under the guidance of two accomplished vocal coaches, Dr. Jeannie Pedersen-Smith and Dr. Stephen Zork of Andrews University.
In 2001 Scott was the winner of the National Young Artists’ Competition in the Vocal Performance category singing two Shakespearean songs with full orchestral accompaniment to an audience of nearly 2000 people. In 2006 Scott auditioned for, and was accepted into, the Grammy Award winning Phoenix Symphony Chorus
and Arizona State University’s Men’s Chorus where he was awarded a lead officer position and a scholarship for his musical and scholastic performance.
During Scott’s vocal performance studies, he was given opportunities to sing for, and be critiqued by, famed soloists of the New York Metropolitan Opera who enthusiastically encouraged to Scott to pursue singing as a career soloist emphasizing using his talent towards Broadway productions. Scott did perform in small productions including “The Secret Garden” and the debut production of “Carnival in Venice” which toured and performed at several locations throughout the United States and of which Scott was awarded the lead role of the “Father” in the musical.
Scott knew he had a deeper calling and was given an opportunity to close his 7 year career in Computer IT Networking and take the faith-step into full-time music ministry in 2008. In 2009 Scott married his best friend and lovebug, Heather, and together in faith they launched their career music ministry under the name of “Fresh Day Music” with the hopes that everyone will realize that every day in Christ can be a “Fresh New Day. Because of the scope of their tour schedule giving nearly 150 events a year, Scott and Heather and their two daughters spend several months every year living full-time aboard a professional tour bus that they renovated themselves.
Scott has recorded and released five albums, three of which have been recorded and produced at Gaither Studios in Alexandria, Indiana. His music has traveled the entire United States and even taken him to Canada, Hawaii, the Cayman Islands, and the United States Pentagon. Scott is featured on Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN) Hope Channel (HopeTV), SafeTV, Olelo Studios (Hawaiian Channel), and Amazing Facts. Scott has been singing for international telecast It Is Written for many years and is It Is Written’s affiliate musician.
This partnership has opened doors for Scott to sing for large scale evangelistic efforts and convocations across the country as well as partnership events coast-to-coast.
In the early morning hours of January 21, 2023, Scott was involved in a catastrophic motor vehicle accident as he traveled in icy weather to give a sermon in Ohio. He sustained bilateral comminuted open fractures of both legs as well as severe avulsions to both legs. He was airlifted to a trauma center where he spent over two weeks in critical and acute care fighting for both life and limb, received 5 blood transfusions and was told he would be wheelchair bound for the near and far future. His recovery has been a long journey but he continues to trust that God is good and has a plan even in the midst of life-altering trauma. He tells more of his story at his concert events.
Scott’s concerts are simply more than music. He sings, he expresses, and he tells amazing personal life stories that will leave you progressing from tears to laughter to inspiration as you go on a musical journey unlike anything you have experienced before. Scott & Heather are currently booking concerts and would love to share their journey at your church or event.
