After a couple of emails and a few phone
conversations, meeting up with Mark at his place
(now residing in Phoenix, Arizona) was just like
going over to an old friend’s house and shooting
the breeze. We both were pretty enthusiastic
about sharing our music history with each other.
After all, we had quite a bit in common. And when
he mentioned a certain unique story, I knew
exactly what he meant. I asked him many
personal questions on how he got started in
music, what it was like rocking in his days in
Trixter, and his goals on his new journey in
music. But before I get into all that, let me share
a short history on what Mark Gus Scott is all
about.

As the wild and charismatic drummer for the
internationally renowned rock band Trixter, Mark
“Gus” Scott has sold well over 3 million albums
worldwide, had three #1 videos on MTV (15
weeks at #1), four Top 20 AOR radio hits, as well
as a #26 album on the Billboard charts. It’s all
true. I got a first-hand look at all his gold and
platinum albums.
