In 1993, The Moffatt Brothers released their first CD independently, and soon after, changing their stage name to The Moffatts, they became the youngest band to sign a contract with a major label. As the boys grew up, they picked up their own instruments rather than have a backup band, and Scott's choice was to be the guitarist. He did most of the lead vocals throughout their career as well as backup vocals for the few songs his brothers lead. In 2001 the band split after his youngest brother, Dave, came out as gay and caused a rift between himself and his father, who was also their tour manager.
