Rashidra Scott
vocals

These concerts are Rashidra Scott's debut with the North Carolina Symphony.


At four years old, “The Greatest Love of All” was the first song Rashidra Scott sang. From an early age she was known around town as "the little girl with the big voice." From community musical theatre to church music ministry, she was constantly in demand for civic and social performances at local and national events.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in music from Boston's Berklee College of Music, Scott spent four years singing for Walt Disney Entertainment as a featured vocalist on Disney Cruise Line and Tarzan Rocks! at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The highlight was being a proud member of the opening team of Hong Kong Disneyland as Nala in The Festival of The Lion King.

After living in Hong Kong for nine months Scott moved to New York, where projects have included Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations. She has been on Broadway in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Sister Act, Hair, Finian's Rainbow, and Avenue Q. She was on the road as a background vocalist for Patti Austin's BeboperElla! tour in conjunction with the release of Austin's Ella Fitzgerald tribute album For Ella.

Scott's television appearances include Violet (the singing nurse) on Rescue Me, as well as Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Dancing with the Stars, the 2011 and 2014 Tony Awards, The View, Good Morning America, The Today Show, The Wendy Williams Show, the Walt Disney World Christmas Parade, and Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. She is also a featured vocalist on the Grammy award-winning cast album for Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.
