SCOTT BRUTON
AGE: 19
LOCATION: MANCHESTER
JOB: BLUECOAT, PONTINS (UNTIL The X Factor)
MENTORED BY: SIMON COWELL
Scott was born in Manchester and lives with his parents, two brothers and one sister. Scott wanted to be an actor but music soon became his passion when he got on stage at eleven years old and sang karaoke for the first time.
Karaoke soon became an obsession and Scott entered numerous talent shows and singing competitions at school – winning them all. Scott started performing on the pubs and clubs circuit from the age of 14 but after dropping out of drama college due to lack of funds, Scott started a job at Pontins.
Scott began working as a Bluecoat in January this year but although he enjoyed it, he had to give it up in order to go to bootcamp and pursue his life-long singing ambition.
Scott has never had a singing lesson although two years ago he was one of fourteen performers who sang on a charity single for Wish Upon A Star, released in Manchester. They recorded the song in a studio and he felt like a star for a day.
Scott’s friends and family are behind Scott and the local pub is covered in banners showing support for Scott's dream.
