SCHOLARSHIPS CHANGE LIVES!
Our weekly (where are they now?) quick visits with some of our past Musicians Foundation scholarship winners continue.
After receiving the 2008 David Geffen Music Business Scholarship and Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Scholarship at Musicians Institute, Hunter Scott completed his studies and soon after became the co-founder and Head of Marketing & Publicity at the full service music PR firm LaFamos.
The highly successful company excels at press outreach, lifestyle branding and social media management; and is now celebrating its 10-year anniversary and global recognition.
A few years after helping to start LaFamos, Hunter returned to his alma mater (Musicians Institute) as a faculty member in the college’s Music Business Program. As an additional demonstration of his commitment to supporting music education, Hunter “paid it forward” by directly funding two LaFamos scholarships for MI’s Music Business students!
LaFamos also places an emphasis on education in the music industry through its one-of-a-kind internship training program, enabling students to shadow a senior publicist and receive direct training in the music PR world.
LaFamos’ social media services transformed into a separate firm, High Q Digital, a team of specialists serves a growing array of artists and brands including non-profit organizations, restaurants and retail shops.
Hunter also participates in educational programs through speaking engagements at panels and seminars produced by SESAC, ASCAP, SAG/AFTRA, Goldman Sachs, SXSW, Folk Alliance, CD Baby and Americana Conference among others.
Recently, Hunter further demonstrated his support of music education, serving as the incoming Chairman of the Board for The Musicians Foundation for 2019-2021.
Hunter lives in Los Angeles, travels the world and continues to keep his finger on the pulse, expanding his influence and success in shaping the future of the music industry.
