Oldham artist with learning difficulties, pushes the boundaries of pop and launches new album.

An Oldham music artist who has learning difficulties is releasing new music, to show what can be done for anyone facing difficult obstacles. 

Scott Magnus is a pop artist from Royton, who creates strong and melodious indie, pop/rock songs, bringing them to life with upbeat trap and hyperpop production, resulting in something which is very powerful, introspective and heartfelt.

Scott is an outspoken supporter of people with disabilities, particularly those with learning difficulties, because he himself has ADHD, Autism and Dyspraxia.

There is a deliberate message underpinning Scott Magnus' new debut (8 Track) EP 'COMEBACK STRONGER'.

He told The Oldham Evening Chronicle: "I wanted this EP to show how even in a hopeless situation there is hope, that despite any limitations you may have, if you focus on what you can do you can succeed.

"Mistakes are opportunities to learn and become a better version of yourself." 

Scott turns the experiences he encounters as someone with disabilities into music that can heal, embolden and inspire anyone facing difficult obstacles.

It is his mission to help people overcome their challenges as he does.

Scott's debut single "Diamond In The Rough" was admired by his audience and over 15 music publications.  

Scott's second single 'The Phoenix' was featured in Metal Magazine & Rolling Stone India.  

Scott's subsequent singles reached a greater audience on Spotify with his single 'Lone Wolf' reaching seventy five thousand streams on Spotify.

'COMEBACK STRONGER’ is Scott’s comeback story, each song dealing with the obstacles which he's faced either such as with the cognitive difficulties he tries to transcend on 'Growing Up’.

He also uses interpersonal challenges dealt with on 'Don't Take Away My Purpose’, which addresses his challenge to give up his dreams of becoming a successful artist and be someone that he is not. 

Scott has played several gigs around Manchester in 2021 and he has assembled a band of accomplished musicians, ready to bring his 'Comeback Stronger' EP to life.

He will launch his new album at 33 Oldham Street, Manchester on 22nd April 2022.
