Scott Coates
Scott Coats is a multidisciplinary artist based in Nashville, Tennessee, where he lives with his wife and four children. A North Carolina native, Scott’s creative journey began in music—touring in a metal band, serving as a church music director, and working as a producer and sound engineer. But behind the music, visual art was always quietly waiting.
In 2020, that quiet became a calling. A personal creative shift reignited his long-standing love for visual art, sparking a new chapter where sound and sculpture, structure and spontaneity, began to collide. What first felt like tension between two passions—music and visual art—evolved into the signature fusion that defines Scott’s work today.
His pieces blend the expressive soul of music with the precision of engineering, often incorporating raw, organic elements like bark, sand, sea shells, and pine needles. The result is a tactile, grounded body of work that engages both sides of the brain: emotional and analytical, intuitive and intentional.
Scott’s art isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about resonance. It’s where broken things sing again.
