S nger Songwri ter SHOWCASE BIOS NOVEMBER 12 @ 8:00 P.M. CST Every Scooter Carusoe song is a beautiful ambush. His genius sneaks up on you: you’re humming along to a melody you can’t get out of your head long before you realize there are layers to unpack and lines worth serious study. Travis Hill “Scooter Carusoe” has lived and worked in the Nashville music community for two decades. He was a cofounder of independent music publisher Carnival Music and now writes for Endurance/BMG Music. Between publishing and song writing he has twenty plus number one songs to his credit and was nominated for the 2018 CMA song of the year with “Drunk Girl.” His songs have been performed on The Grammy’s, CMA’s, ACM’s and received multiple NSAI, ASCAP and SESAC awards.

Today, the North Carolina-born, Knoxville, Tennessee-raised Hill lives in Nashville with his wife and two sons. Yes, Carusoe is a pen name, but his insistence on using it reveals a lot about who he really is stubborn and Scooter Carusoe inspiring, always fighting to keep the focus where it should be–the song.
