Scott Blasco composes music for a variety of settings and purposes. Primarily concerned with concert music, his compositions have been met with enthusiasm by performers and listeners alike. Scott's music is often characterized by complex rhythms, dense counterpoint and colorful harmonies, as well as a desire to integrate his diverse musical interests into a cohesive musical language. His training as a percussionist has led him to produce new works that showcase the marimba and other percussion instruments, and his background as a rock guitarist adds another influence to his music.

Scott holds a Master of Music in Composition from Western Michigan University, where he studied with C. Curtis-Smith, Richard Adams, and Robert Ricci. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Music Theory & Composition and Music History from Calvin College, where his teachers were John Worst and David Fuentes. In 2007 he completed a Master of Arts in Theology at Fuller Theological Seminary studying Theology and the Arts, and is currently pursuing a doctoral degree in Music Theory and Composition at Ball State University.
