Scott Blackwell

Scott Blackwell is a Christian dance music artist, generally credited with being the first artist to produce such music for the Christian marketplace.[1][2] In addition to releasing his own albums has produced many others and has founded several record labels.[3]

Personal life and music career

Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Blackwell got his start as a disc jockey, eventually picking up a position supervising MYX Records (a division of Frontline Records).[3][4] Upon leaving Frontline he founded N•Soul Records. By 1995 he had produced 11 projects for N•Soul Records and had acquired over 50 general market production credits.[5] N•Soul became best known for the Nitro Praise series, which put praise and worship songs to various forms of dance music.[3] He left N•Soul in 1999 citing concerns about the vision of the company's leadership. He then founded two record labels to focus on different genres of dance music.[6] As of 2011, Blackwell continues to perform in clubs in the greater Los Angeles area.

Album credits

Blackwell has production, engineering, remix, or other credits on material released by the following:[10]

gollark: Hopefully an actual system fix rather than "let's ban alts".
gollark: You could probably find it with a bunch of testing, but connecting to the bot through reddit is slow enough that it likely does not matter.
gollark: Race conditions would be problematic if one part stored one price and one stored a different one for a bit and you could exploit that. Which is probably not the case, though.
gollark: No, that's just it being stupid.
gollark: <@215941165785022464> Race conditions: the new bot is apparently now split into lots of bits, and if they aren't synchronized properly it might be possible to extract coins from the differences between them.
