With his debut single, “I’m Good,” out now, we took some time to hear from Gee Scott. Read below to learn more about Gee Scott, the story behind “I’m Good,” and what’s to come.

Hi Gee Scott! Let’s start with how did you get your artist name?

Gee is a nickname that’s been with me for a long time, and Scott comes from my real name. It felt natural to keep something real and personal, because that’s what my music is. I never wanted a name that felt fake or forced. I wanted something that felt honest and true to who I am.

What city are you from, and where are you based now?

I’m from New Iberia, Louisiana, and I’m based in Lafayette now. New Iberia gave me my roots, my family foundation, and a lot of what shaped me early on. Lafayette has helped me grow as an artist, performer, and man.

At what point in your life did you decide to pursue a career in music? How did you get started?

Music has been part of my life from the very beginning. I grew up in church, and my dad being a pastor played a huge role in that. Being in that environment taught me that music is more than just entertainment. It can be healing, powerful, and spiritual. I got started by being around it constantly, singing, playing, listening, and learning. Over time I realized this was not just something I loved, it was something God placed in me. Prayer has always been a part of my journey, and there were moments when I had to trust that even when I couldn’t see the full picture, I was being led where I needed to go.

How would you describe your sound to readers who may not be familiar with you?

I’d describe my sound as soulful, nostalgic, funky, and real. It pulls from R&B, soul, rock, and blues, but it still feels like me. I like music that feels good, moves people, and says something honest at the same time.

Do you have any hobbies outside of music? What do you do to stay creative?

A lot of my life naturally revolves around music, family, and community. To stay creative, I really just stay connected to real life. I reflect, I pray, I spend time with the people I love, and I let everyday experiences pour back into the music. Sometimes the best creativity comes from living, not forcing it.

Who are some of your main musical influences?

A lot of my influences come from soul, funk, gospel, blues, and artists who really knew how to make people feel something. Growing up in church definitely shaped my ear, so there’s always been a deep love for music with emotion, spirit, and truth in it. I’m inspired by artists who can bring feeling, musicianship, and authenticity all at once.

Who would be a dream to collaborate with?

A dream collaboration for me would definitely be Anderson .Paak. He’s one of those artists who brings so much soul, creativity, rhythm, and originality to everything he touches. He’s musical, fearless, and full of personality, and I feel like that kind of collaboration would be something special.

What’s one of the proudest moments of your music career so far?

One of my proudest moments has been seeing “I’m Good” connect with people in a real way. Any time something I created reaches people and they truly feel it, that means a lot to me. I’m also proud of every stage I’ve stepped on, because every opportunity represents growth, faith, and staying committed to the journey.

What would you say are the greatest lessons that you’ve learned so far?

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is to keep going, even when things feel uncertain. You have to trust the process, stay consistent, and stay true to yourself. I’ve also learned that prayer, patience, and perseverance matter just as much as talent. The journey will stretch you, but it will also strengthen you.

Now onto your release, “I’m Good.” What inspired this song? What is “I’m Good” about?

“I’m Good” came from a real place. It’s about pushing through life even when things get heavy, painful, or uncertain. It’s that space where you may be carrying a lot, but you still choose to stand tall and keep moving. The song is honest because it doesn’t pretend life is perfect. It’s about faith, resilience, and being able to say, “I’m good,” not because everything is easy, but because you’re still here, still fighting, and still covered.

What was the inspiration behind the cover artwork for “I’m Good?”

The cover artwork was meant to match the message and feeling of the song. I wanted it to reflect strength, emotion, and confidence. “I’m Good” has depth to it, so I wanted the visual to carry that same weight and make people feel something before they even press play.

What was the creative process like when making “I’m Good?”

The creative process felt natural, but it was also personal. Once the feeling and the message were there, I just focused on being honest and building the song in a way that felt true to me. I wanted the record to sound good, but more importantly I wanted it to feel real. I wanted people to hear it and know it came from a genuine place.

How long did it take to complete “I’m Good?”

It took time to really bring it together the right way. You can catch a feeling for a song quickly, but finishing it in a way that fully says what you need it to say is a different process. I wanted to be patient with it and make sure it came out the way it was supposed to.

How did the music video for “I’m Good” come about? What was your vision for the video?

The video came from wanting to visually match the spirit of the song. My vision was to create something authentic that carried the same message of perseverance, confidence, and truth. I wanted the visuals to feel grounded and real, and to help people connect even deeper with what the song is saying.

What do you hope fans take away from “I’m Good” and your music in general?

I hope people take away strength, honesty, and hope. I want them to feel encouraged. I want them to know they can keep going, even through hard times. More than anything, I want my music to make people feel seen and remind them that there’s power in holding on, having faith, and staying true to who you are.

What’s next for you? Are you working on any upcoming projects, or do you have any upcoming shows that we should be on the lookout for?

Right now, I’m focused on continuing to build from “I’m Good,” creating more music, and expanding my reach. I’m always working, always growing, and always looking for bigger opportunities to connect with people through live performance and new releases. There’s definitely more on the way, and I’m excited about what’s next.

Before you go, let’s ask you something random. What is your favorite food?

My favorite food is gumbo, no question. I’m from Louisiana, so that’s in me for real. A good bowl of gumbo is more than just food, it’s family, culture, comfort, and home all in one.

Thank you for the great interview; wish you much continued success!
