T. Scott Wilemon

Biography
HOME

Scott grew up in the small town of Aberdeen in the Northeast part of Mississippi. His first taste of southern gospel music was the Fifth Street Quartet at the Fifth Street Baptist Church in Iuka, MS. Scott's dad, Dale, sang bass with the group and Scott spent many Sunday evenings after church playing as the group practiced. He never realized just how much this would impact his life.

Scott finished up college at Middle TN State University and settled in Nashville with his wife, Dana. During college, he landed his "dream" job at Benson Music Group which housed the RiverSong record label. This was significant because this was the record label of many of the artists Scott grew up listening to. He was now working with folks like J.D. Sumner, Gold City, Jeff and Sheri Easter, Great Vision just to name a few. This was also where he met up with Michael English and started a great friendship that he still holds dear to this day.

Scott later went to work for Michael and The Judds who had signed Michael to a management deal. Scott worked out of the Judds' office and traveled with Michael for several years handling many of the day to day aspects of Michael's career.

After several years in Nashville, Scott and Dana moved back to Mississippi where he went to work in the family business with his dad and his brother, Todd.

Not long after moving home, Scott felt the Lord leading him to start a solo ministry and stepping out on faith, he began to sing whenever and wherever he could. It was apparent the Lord was using Scott in a mighty way. During this time, Scott also began to write. Teaming up with Daywind staff writer, Marty Funderburk, he has had songs recorded by, Legacy Five, Brian Free and Assurance and Allison Durham Speer among others. Scott's first song on the Singing News Chart was "What Faith Does" by the Lesters. It reached #20 on the national chart. After completing 2 CD projects, and singing for a couple of years, Scott was given the opportunity to sing tenor with The Masters Quartet from Booneville. He travelled and sang with the Masters for a little over 2 years and made many great new friends a long the way.

Upon leaving the Masters, Scott has once again started his solo ministry but this time with a little help. He had felt for some time that the Lord was leading him back into a solo ministry and part of this was his daughter Carley. Carley is 13 yrs. old and has been singing most of her life. She now goes to most concerts with her dad and does several songs from her debut CD, "Can't Dream Big Enough." Carley is a fan favorite wherever they go!

Scott still continues to write and plans to continue singing with Carley wherever the Lord allows. Scott also has a son, Dalton that is 9 years old, and he has been known to sing a song or two with his dad as well from time to time. Dalton says he likes to sing but he mostly handles "security" for his dad and Carley!!!

Scott, Dana, Carley and Dalton are members of Friendship Baptist Church in Aberdeen.
