Scot Wisniewski was born and raised in Auburn, NY. Although he believes his musical training began when his mother sang to him in the womb, his actual training began with piano lessons at age 5, and shortly thereafter, clarinet lessons at age 8.
Throughout his entire life, Scot has been involved in the performing arts. He has appeared in many regional theater productions, including Fiddler on The Roof, Annie, The Hobbit, Brigadoon, The Sound of Music, and Oklahoma just to name a few.
Scot always knew that he wanted to live in NYC and perform in cabaret clubs and on Broadway. Just two weeks after graduating from Keuka College in 2000, Scot immediately packed his bags and moved to NYC.
To get himself noticed Scot started singing at various cabaret clubs during open mic nights. In 2002, Scot had his first cabaret show titled The Beginning at Don't Tell Mama. The show ran for three months to sell out crowds and stellar reviews. A triumph for a debut show!
In the winter of 2002, Scot released his first CD titled A Classic Christmas on Independent Records. The CD features ten beloved Christmas songs. On his latest recording, Broadway, Scot's Way, he sings twelve of his favorite show-tunes. Both albums are available via many online retailers including Amazon.com, CDBaby.com, Apple iTunes and at stores nationwide. You can also just click the merchandise tab above to order copies.
In addition to singing, Scot has kept busy in many other areas of the entertainment industry. He has landed roles in independent and feature films, done commercial print modeling as well as two national voice-over radio spots.
Scot is a proud member of Actors Equity Association (AEA), The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) and The Screen Actors Guild (SAG).
Scot’s all new one-man cabaret show opens 10/25/08 at Don’t Tell Mama in NYC and runs through November 15th.
