MFT: Ivory Scott Looks Back On His First Publishing Deal

Making his mark in the game by way of Chicago, songwriter Ivory Scott has been on a streak when it comes to cranking out bangers for the likes of others — see: “THIQUE” by Beyoncé, “Baddest” by Yung Bleu, Chris Brown & 2 Chainz — while also saving a few for his own budding career as a soul crooner.
As many found out last month with the release of his debut album, MUD (Music U Desire), the voice behind that pen is packing something serious as well!

Scott paid us a visit here at “My First Time” to reflect back on the early days when he learned what it truly means to grind. Even with a broken foot due to a prior skateboarding injury, the struggle of hopping around on one foot in order to make the best out of his first publishing deal proved to be the discipline needed to become great at his craft altogether. It’s no surprise that it only took a few years for the GRAMMY nominations to roll in and collaborations with big names like Madonna.
