Scotty Kipfer is a CCMA and CMAO Award-nominated singer/songwriter whose collaborative spirit shines through his body of work.

His debut album, Taking My Time, featured collaborations with luminary artists like Tenille Townes, The Western Swing Authority, Ryan Cook, Molly Brown, Callie McCullough, and Emily Reid. Scotty holds production and writing credits on McCullough’s debut album, After Midnight, which features members of GRAMMY Award-winning bands Union Station and The Time Jumpers. The album, which American Songwriter called "delicately modern and warmly classic," earned a Canadian Country Music Association Award nomination for Alternative Country Album of the Year, and the title track garnered a Songwriters of the Year nomination with the Country Music Association of Ontario. He is currently working on his second studio album, which promises another foray into his distinctively clever style.

Scotty is also infusing his whimsical sensibility into his orchestral writing. While his career spans two decades in the country music industry, his fascination with classic cartoon scores has been lifelong - from Disney to Looney Tunes, and everything in between. He is a graduate of the film scoring program at Berklee College of Music, and has studied music for animation under 9-time Emmy Award-winning composers, Steven & Julie Bernstein (Animaniacs, Pinky & The Brain, Freakazoid!). Scotty launched Symphony Nostalgique in the summer of 2024, an orchestral homage to iconic scores and theme songs from classic cartoons and video games.

Outside the realm of music, Scotty enjoys collecting animation production art and comic books, and he is an avid Toronto Blue Jays fan. He lives in Stratford, Ontario with his wife and newborn son, and their dog, Ruby.
