 Scott & Paula in the studio *
"Ragtime Productions...provides everything from jingles to background scores for film and video, to songs created especially for shows, promotions and special projects. The husband and wife team of Scott Berry and Paula Stevens...write, arrange, perform and produce from concept to finished product." --Kathy Estowski Central Florida Magazine, May 1987 *
Since coming to Orlando, Scott (along with his wife Paula Stevens) has written and/or produced original music underscoring, songs and jingles for the Disney theme parks, Orlando's Theater Downtown, The Fringe Festival, The Orlando Magic basketball team, the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team, a local Florida cable children's tv show, and other local businesses. Shortly after starting Ragtime Productions in 1986, Scott and Paula expanded their business and renamed it Scott Berry Productions. In 2001, Scott created the underscoring for THE CHALLENGE, a short film by director/producer Jason Liquori. Scott has released several of his own CDs and helped in the production of several more. To see his current releases, see Scott's CDs page. He still spends most of his spare time in his home studio--just ask his wife. For more work history, see the information below... |
PRODUCTION
Singer/Songwriter/Arranger/Producer (etc.) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ At the age of 21, while still living and performing in New
Orleans, Scott was offered the opportunity to record an
album of his original material at CBS Recording Studios in New
York City. What a first experience in the studio! He loved After recording other demos with his band, TOUCH, in Georgia
and re-recording a New Orleans
favorite,"Down At Papa Joe's", backed with his own song, "The
Drifter And The Lady" on the "b" side, Scott decided to head
back to Once settled in New York, Scott quickly landed the role of Musical
Director for the off-Broadway show "I'M GETTING MY ACT TOGETHER AND TAKING IT ON
THE ROAD" by Gretchen Cryer and Nancy Ford (produced by Joseph Papp),
working with such leading lights in New York--and later in a touring company of the show: leading actresses Betty Buckley, Phylllis Newman, Betty Aberlin and Connie Stevens and leading actors Orson Bean, Steven Keats, Joel Fabiani and George Hosmer. During this time, Scott appeared around New York City as a solo performer and as musical director of cabaret acts, theater productions and even his own Scott Berry Band. Scott appears (very briefly) in Billy Joel's "Piano Man" video, which was filmed in New York. Adding to his talents as an arranger and performer, he was also leading actor and musical director for the productions "VINYL" (by J. King and E. Epstein), and musical director for "HOLDING PATTERNS" (by Jeffrey Sweet). Scott is the composer and co-creator of the musicals "THE FIRST GREAT AMERICAN TRAVELING CARNIVAL" (with Lila Levant) and "BEING IN LOVE" (with Ralph Tropf). Scott also underscored the dramatic productions "OPTIONS" (by Andrew Foster) and "THE WAILING MIST" (by Greg Brennan).
