Here’s how it went:



Begin Interview:

Hello Goldie Scott, we’re thrilled to have you here for this interview! We've had an amazing time exploring your music and diving into your creative journey. Now, we’re even more intrigued to get a deeper look into both your brand and your personal and professional inspirations.



Q. For the fans meeting you for the first time, is Goldie Scott your given name or a stage name? What inspired you to choose that for your artist persona?

A. Goldie Scott isn’t my given name, but it feels completely, authentically me. There are a few different stories behind it — and they’re all true. Scott is the street I grew up on; it grounds me in where I come from. Goldie is who I’m becoming — she represents where I’m going. To me, the name holds this duality: East Coast grit and West Coast glow, light and dark, past and future — all parts of my story. And here’s the wild part: after choosing the name, I found out my great-great-grandmother was actually named Goldie.



Q. We absolutely loved the unique and intimate method of delivery of your vocals. It feels like a fresh sound. Your commanding confidence and unshakeable rhythm really take the attention of the whole performance. When did you discover your voice, and what was the turning point that shifted you from singing in the mirror to recording professionally?

A. I’ve been singing since I was six, though my approach was never exactly traditional. I wasn’t interested in warmups or the classical pieces my teachers recommended — I was always drawn to writing my own songs and experimenting with sound. That constant itch to break the rules and find my own voice is what helped me develop a unique style early on. I don’t regret any of it — it gave me the creative identity I have now.

But when I made the decision around age 20 to take music seriously and go professional, I had a wake-up call. I realized I had to unlearn a lot of habits and go back to the basics to build proper technique. That was a turning point for me — understanding that raw creativity is powerful, but pairing it with solid foundation and discipline is what really makes an artist great. There are no shortcuts.



Q. As a teaser description, what would you tell someone about this song to intrigue them about its meaning if you only had 1 sentence to get them interested in listening to it?

A. It’s flirty, a little delusional - you’ve known them for five minutes but you’re already picking baby names and coordinating star signs."



Q. Where do you start the production of your music, i.e., in a home recording studio or with an outside producer? How do you finalize your finished work, i.e., self-mixed/mastered or with another source?

A. It really depends on the song. Sometimes I start with a rough demo at home, just capturing the vibe, and then I’ll bring it to one of my go-to producers to help shape it into the final version. Other times, I’m in the studio working with a producer from the very beginning. My long-term goal is to produce my music entirely on my own, but I’m still building toward that. As for mixing and mastering, I’ve worked with a variety of engineers, and when the indie budget allows, I prefer hiring an external engineer to get that extra polish.



Q. When you were first starting out, was there a specific album or artist that felt like a breakthrough for you—something that made you think, I want to do that? How did it impact the way you approach your music now?

A. My influences have always been a blend — growing up, my dad played classic rock and jazz, so that was always in the background. But most of my pivotal moments came from watching badass women shape music. The first was Hilary Duff — my very first concert — then Miley Cyrus, who I grew up alongside. As she evolved into Miley, I evolved into Goldie. She influenced me not just sonically but as a girl figuring herself out. Adele showed me the power of raw emotion and live instrumentation — that’s when I really connected with soulful music. Lady Gaga reminded me I don’t have to fit into one box. One day I can be a pop girly, the next jazz or country, and that’s okay. I remember watching A Star Is Born in college and seeing this regular east coast girl perform in front of thousands. I ran to the bathroom crying and called my mom like, 'That’s going to be me. I want to do that.' That moment lit a fire I’ve never put out.



Q. Outside of music, who or what has had the biggest influence on your personal growth or artistic perspective?

A. Growing up in New Jersey definitely shaped me in a positive way — there’s a grit and humor to the East Coast that stays with you. But one of the most impactful chapters for me was the short time I spent living in New Orleans. It was only a few months, but they completely shifted my perspective. I tried foods I’d never imagined, heard music that cracked open new parts of my creativity, and met collaborators I still work with today. It’s a city that doesn’t care about clout or fame — just art, soul, and living fully. Now that I’m based in LA, I try to carry that spirit with me: make authentic work, don’t take life too seriously, and remember why I started — to create something real.



Q. Many artists hit a few walls along the way. Have there been times you questioned continuing with music? What helped you stay committed to your path?

A. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t hit hundreds of walls — especially in today’s world, where being a creative person is more accessible, yet somehow more difficult than ever before. One of the hardest moments came last year when I suffered a major vocal injury that required surgery and months of complete silence, just after moving to Los Angeles. It shook me deeply — I questioned my talent, my purpose, and whether my voice would ever be the same. But I’m a spiritual person, and what carried me through was this unshakable belief that everything happens for a reason — along with an incredible support system. It wasn’t easy, but coming out on the other side, I feel stronger and more grounded than ever. I’m a warrior now — and I sing from that place.



Q. How does making music make you feel? Does this song come from a real experience and performing it allow healing of the feelings that created it, or does it make them resurface?

A. Making music is my favorite form of therapy — it usually comes from a really vulnerable, honest place, whether I’m telling my own story or someone else’s. But this song was different. I had just come out of a heavy time and was honestly tired of writing sad, real-life music. I wanted to tap into something lighter — playful, fun, sexy — a universal feeling that we could all relate to.



Q. Is there a song by a band you grew up listening to—something that still resonates with you—that you'd love to cover in the studio today, because it feels connected to who you are or played a role in shaping your career?

A. ‘Landslide’ is definitely one of those songs for me. I grew up singing it in the car with my mom, who’s also a singer, and at the time, it was just a beautiful song we loved. But as I’ve gotten older, moved away from my family, and started carving out my own path, I feel the weight of its lyrics in a whole new way. It hits different now — the passing of time, the fear and beauty of change, all of it. Stevie Nicks has always been a huge influence on me — not just for her voice, but for the way she tells stories with raw emotion and grace. Covering this song today feels like a full-circle moment — a tribute to my roots, to my mom, and to the artist I’m still becoming.



Q. What are your top 3 wish-list venues to perform at?

A1. Red Rocks Amphitheater

A2. Madison Square Garden

A3. Hollywood Bowl



Q. The combination of groove and cinematic elements in your music creates an atmosphere that feels larger than life. Is there a particular visual or feeling you hope your listeners experience when they hear your music, especially Die to Lose You?

A. For a lot of my music, I want it to feel like home — something nostalgic that brings listeners back to a place they miss or long for. But with Die to Lose You, it’s different. I want it to transport you to a smoky 1970s dive bar, glowing neon lights, a little bit dangerous — and make you feel hot, confident, and completely in the moment."



Q. You co-wrote Die to Lose You with Holden Glazer, and it's your first collaboration since “The Dark Days” on Selling Sunset. How has your creative partnership evolved since then, and what makes working with Holden special for you?

A. At this point, we’ve written so many songs together and still, we are just getting started. It’s always very easy and quick working together. Holden is a musical genius, but most importantly, he’s a great guy. We grew up in the same hometown with a very similar family background and yet, never crossed paths until we both came to LA. It does feel like we have parallel lives and we were destined to meet and work together!



Q. We can't thank you enough for sharing these intimate details! So, what's next? Can you give us the inside scoop on your upcoming projects and what fans should be excited about? We'd love to be the first to share the news!

A. All I can say is that there is a lot of new music on the horizon - a whole EP. And it is sort of the B side to my debut EP ‘Blind Eye’. It’s much more folky, a lot of live instrumentation and some of my most vulnerable songwriting. The first song off of the project will be released this fall. I cannot wait to share it with you all!


Goldie Scott, thank you so much, we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us!
