Scotty Huff's career as a producer, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter launched him quickly onto the music scene in Nashville after moving there in 1997.

The Mavericks were one of the first major label artists to recognize Scotty's range of abilities and hired him to lead their horn section, The Havana Horns, playing lead trumpet, singing and arranging. It was with The Mavericks that Scotty got some of his first experience with "master" recording sessions. He was chief arranger, lead trumpet player and harmony singer on several recording projects for the group.

Although he appeared with The Mavericks on their arena tours, at The Royal Albert Hall, and on television shows like The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman, he was no stranger to working with international music artists, having appeared many times with such artists as Natalie Cole and The Manhattan Transfer. It was also at this time Scotty began his musical partnership with Robert Reynolds, founding member and bass player for The Mavericks. Apart from live performing and songwriting, Scotty and Robert have now composed and produced more than 25 film scores together.

When The Mavericks took an extended hiatus in 2001, Scotty was recruited by CMA Award-winning recording artist, Keith Urban, to play guitar, banjo and sing backing vocals. He also gained major touring experience on record-breaking tours with Brooks & Dunn, and Kenny Chesney. As Keith Urban's career blossomed, the music industry began to take serious note of Scotty's abilities, not only for musical talents, but for his loyalty, integrity and attention to detail. Since working with Keith, Scotty has been trusted with helping to launch the careers of many new recording artists by assisting them on radio tours, and by serving as music director (as in the case of RCA recording artist, Jake Owen).

Scotty has traded his life as a road musician for that of a music producer. His collection of education, experience and unique abilities make him a powerful force in the 16 Ton studio, writing room and in working with developing artists.
