Being raised in a musical family, Scott began his journey in music early on when he found a trombone at 4 years old. After another few years of piano training, he picked up his Dad’s trumpet at 6 years old and it became the center of his world.

His father and trumpet teacher, Stephen Bell, began to mentor him throughout his upbringing. After years of hard work and dedication to his craft, Scott was accepted to the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, and was awarded a 4-year merit-based full-tuition scholarship.

Scott has toured the globe as a trumpet player in jazz bands, orchestras, an a cappella group (vocal bass), and musical theater. He has performed at major festivals such as the Monterey, Montreux, North Sea, Umbria, and Vienne Jazz Festivals, and the Vans Warped Tour 25th Anniversary (Save Ferris & Goldfinger). He has also performed in famous orchestral halls such as Boston Symphony Hall, Davies Symphony Hall, Dvorak Hall, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, as well as performing on The Great Wall of China.

Scott has had the fortune to share the stage with music legends including Arnie Roth, Chris Potter, Ndugu Chancler, Seth MacFarlane, Taylor Eigsti, Terence Blanchard, and Wycliffe Gordon, as well as opening for Boz Scaggs, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, and Herbie Hancock.

After falling in love with a cappella in his high school group, “September”, Scott went on to be accepted to sing vocal bass in Berklee’s premier a cappella group, Pitch Slapped in 2015. Being a part of one of the top collegiate a cappella groups in the country, they went on to be featured on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, embark on tours to California and China, and release a live video cover of Stevie Wonder’s, “I Wish”, going viral with over 6 million views.

In 2019, Scott was cast in the Broadway First National Tour of Bandstand, playing the role of trumpet player, Nick Radel. In his stage acting debut, Scott performed the role (originally perf. by Joey Pero), played trumpet, and sang live on-stage, performing for sold-out houses across the country, including the National Theater in Washington, D.C. The tour completed over 100 performances in 50 cities across the United States.

Scott has also made a name for himself as a music transcriber with his Instagram series, “Transcription Tuesday” and other transcription videos on YouTube. He has been recognized and praised for his transcription work by artists like Anomalie, Arturo Sandoval, Butcher Brown, Casey Benjamin, Farnell Newton, Jacob Collier, Keyon Harrold, Haywyre, Kiefer, Marquis Hill, Moonchild, MXXWLL, Otis McDonald, Philip Lassiter, and Tennyson.

Scott has recorded and produced for various artists and releases music under his artist name, 2Slice. On September 20th, 2019, he released his debut beat tape, “Flip Side” on all streaming platforms.

Production credits include Rachel Gonzalez’s single, “Something Right” and EP entitled "Lesson Learned".

​Bell holds degrees from the USC Thornton School of Music in Jazz Studies (M.M.) and from Berklee College of Music in Trumpet Performance (B.M.).

Some of Scott’s most influential music mentors include Mic Gillette, Tiger Okoshi, Charlie Lewis, Bobby Gallegos, Michael Stever, Bob Mintzer, Brian “Raydar” Ellis, and his parents.
