sc0ttryan is taking elements from rap, hyperpop, and edm and throwing them into a blender to create some of the most catchy music coming out right now. Recently releasing the highly anticipated EP ‘aim down sights,’ sc0ttryan is breaking the mold on what it means to be a “hyperpop” artist. Being involved in the scene and steadily releasing music since 2020, it’s impossible to not think it’s finally their time. Taking all the best parts of the community: the sound, the swag, and the collaboration, it is finally sc0ttryan’s time. Starting their musical journey with the drums, they only focused on honing that skill from age 5 to 15. Ending up playing the snare drum in their school's marching band, they began to hate how much they had to listen to other people when it came to music. So at age 15 they quit marching band and downloaded FL Studio. Originally aiming to create indie music their plans got disrupted when covid hit. Having to spend more time online, they were eventually led to the 2020 hyperpop scene where they met Wubz, Quinn, and Kuru. After that they started creating music more in line with their friends. After about a year of messing around and distilling their sound they made ‘wpwt’ and released the first official sc0ttryan release. Since then their sound has only evolved into something that is a true reflection of their personality. Upbeat, but still down to earth and willing to be vulnerable. Unique, but in a way that everyone can relate and enjoy. This is most apparent in the release of their new EP ‘aim down sights.’ Featuring production from sc0ttryan themself, aftrr, 31sentinel, and Evan Sasha. The EP is a mix of all of sc0ttryans influences, presented in one of the most interesting, catchy, and entrancing ways that we’ve seen this year. Tap in now, before it’s too late to claim that you were there at the beginning. Listen to ‘aim down sites’ and follow sc0ttryan on social media to stay up to date on future releases of songs and music videos.
Who is an artist you would choose to have dinner with instead of $100k?
I’m taking dinner with OsamaSon. I’m taking dinner with Jon Bellion. I’m taking dinner with Vic Fuentes. I’m taking dinner with Sabrina Carpenter. I’m trying to rizz up Sabrina Carpenter… I don’t know why I said that, I’m not into her… but we’ll try it. The most important one is OsamaSon because I fucking love that man.
What talking dog cartoon would you want to hang out with?
I want to spend my time with Jake from ‘Adventure Time’ and Perry the Platypus. I know Perry the Platypus isn’t a dog but he’s so loyal it’s like the same thing. And people don’t know this… but Perry can talk. He understands the English language. He just chooses not to speak, which I think is a valuable and underrated factor in a lot of friendships nowadays.
Which fast food mascot would make the best music?
Off of first thought, Wendy would have something fire. She would definitely make some fire like Charli XCX type shit. Or Colonel Sanders. Colonel Sanders is soooooo valid. I’m definitely taking him above Wendy. The Colonel is sampling Bob Dylan and Neutral Milk Hotel and turning them into jerk beats right now. C. Sanders B2B Perry The Platypus… oh my god, that shit would be good.
Who wins in a fight? Mothman or a Werewolf?
Mothman. I mean a werewolf is just a fucking dude-dog. That’s not intimidating as the movies make it look. But like MOTHMAN? Enough said there. Werewolves are just kind of like a pussy concept to me. Like, really? That’s all it is? Get out there a little more. I guess they’re like violent humans, but I’ve seen humans be more rabid than the concept of a werewolf. And if it’s not a full moon that's just an emotionally unavailable, insecure dude with anger issues. Bro, that’s not a werewolf. That’s your ex.
What’s the best concert you’ve been to?
As far as big concerts go, I’ve always had very good experiences during my Twenty One Pilots phase. When I was super into them as a pre-teen and teenager, I saw them maybe 8 times over the course of 3 years. So I think one of the older shows that I went to, which was also my first big concert, was probably the most memorable. As far as other shows go, there’s been a lot of fun ones. Like just with my friends, or seeing people that I know sell out shows and shit. I think seeing Reef live bro.
If you were to spend a day with SpongeBob, what would you do?
Shit, I'm letting him take the wheel bro. I’m turning into Patrick for the day. I’m turning my brain off. Bro, he could take me wherever he wants. Honestly I’ll just follow him around. I like to study, I’d take notes. If he takes me to work then I’m cooking up. Put me on the grill if need be. Fuck it. I’ll make a Krabby Patty. Fuck it, I’ll make two.
If you were cursed to work at a carnival for the rest of your life, what position would you want to work at?
I’m sitting and operating the dunk tank. I’d want to be the person that sits and gets dunked in the water. At a lot of carnivals that person's job is to just sit there and talk shit. I just want to sit there and talk shit for the rest of my life. I’ll say the most vile shit. I’m genuinely catching a case with the shit I’m saying. I’m just gonna rage bait everyone. And if they hit me, I’m just gonna laugh cause there’s nothing I can say.
Which dead musician would be making the best underground music if they were still alive?
6 Dogs. I don’t know if he would be the best alive or dead, but if I could bring one person back from the underground it would be 6 Dogs.
What zoo enclosure would you want to live in?
Penguins. Penguins for sure. I don’t think they smell too bad. They seem so chill.
What was your favorite penguin movie from the 2000/2010s?
‘Surfs Up.’ Shoutout to my friend from my hometown. He put me onto it. It’s always been his favorite movie. We used to watch that shit all the time
If you could make a meal out of color what would be served?
For the appetizer, we’re eating orange. For the main course we’re eating yellow and white, with a tint of red. For dessert, it’s just black and white. Then we’re drinking red. Straight Red 40 red.
What artists do you think people reading this should check out?
reef, oxydecay, 4cf, angelus, Lucy Bedroque, FearDorian, egobreak. Listen to all of them. And then also get hip to Evan Sasha, 31sentinel, aftrr, para, 9lives, wubz, and Cameron Demarco I think that’s it. That's my rapid fire list. That’s mostly what I’ve been listening to recently. Especially that Lucy Bedroque project. That shit’s insane.
