iGaming Innovator / Inventor / US Patent Holder: Tennesse Hold'em Poker Tournaments
Trained as an architect at the avant garde Architectural Association in London, Scott won awards for his designs before focussing on musical composition, forming the jazz fusion band, ESP with guitarist Tee (Tony) Warren. ESP performed over 200 gigs throughout the UK. While touring live, ESP developed strong bonds with the legendary Jazz Funk band, Morrissey Mullin. In 1994, he founded Esprit Music recording studio. While composing and recording pop music, Scott started creating ground-breaking instrumental fusion with gifted session musicians who also worked with Esprit Music. Scott's debut album, "Tribal Gathering" (1995) features the late Dick Morrissey on Saxophone and Myles Kayne on Lead Guitar. The 1995 release of "Tribal Gathering" marked the beginning of the ASTRANOVA record label.
Scott's reputation for innovative music grew, leading to commissioned corporate themes for companies like KLM, John Smith's, Allied Bakeries, Foster's, Audi, Kronenbourg and ITVF1.com. His music has featured in films around the world as well as television programmes like "Malcolm In The Middle" (Fox Network), "Sleeper Cell" (DIRECTV, 101Network), "Marathon Du Sable" (Eurosport), and "Home and Away" (Seven Network, Sydney, AUS). Scott's unique music has also featured on BBC TV and World Service Radio, SKY, Eurosport, CNN, ITV, Granada TV, ORF in Austria, ARD in Germany and Asahi Television in Japan.
In 2004, Scott Hill started up "AMBIENT WORLDS", the podcast. Based on the international popularity of this show, Scott Hill's label signed a global deal with iTunes and ASTRANOVA evolved into ASTRANOVA / AMBIENT WORLDS. Other innovative artists, composers and bands joined the label's international team of artists and composers. Ambient Worlds Musical Journeys have been downloaded over 35 million times.
Scott will be hosting Tennessee Hold’Em demonstration tournaments at the Tennessee Hold’Em table in the IPF tournament hall before the start of the Tennessee Hold'em tournament.
