Scott Alan Stapp (born August 8, 1973 in Orlando , Florida ; actually Anthony Scott Flippen ) is an American musician . The singer and songwriter is a member of the rock bands Creed and Art of Anarchy and is also a solo artist.
Career
After being reprimanded from Lee University in Cleveland , Tennessee for marijuana use , he went to Valencia College in Orlando and graduated as an Associate of Arts . For a short time he was still at the college of Florida State University , where the band Creed was formed in 1995. Stapp was brought up strictly religious. As a teenager he made up his mind to flee home and went to Tallahassee . The religious upbringing should later often make itself felt in his song texts: He repeatedly grapples with questions about faith and searches for his role in this regard. While the band Creed was often referred to as a Christian band, Stapp expressly professes the Christian faith as a solo artist.
The Doors and especially Jim Morrison have, according to Stapps, decisively shaped his musical style. In 1999 he performed with the remaining members of this band at a concert. He also attributes an important influence on his music and lyrics to the album The Joshua Tree by U2 . In the past few years, Stapp has repeatedly attracted attention due to inadequate behavior. Among other things, he is said to have given a concert with Creed in a very drunk state. He is also said to have been involved in a brawl with Band 311 . Stapp publicly regretted these incidents. He received a very good response for his US tour as a solo artist.
On February 10, 2006, he married Miss New York USA 2004 Jaclyn Nesheiwat in Miami , after he divorced Hillaree Burns in 1999 after only 16 months of marriage . From his first marriage he has a son named Jagger Stapp, with Jaclyn Nesheiwat he has a daughter, Milan Hayat Stapp.
After starting his solo career, his first album The Great Divide soon followed . The band Goneblind acted as instrumentalists . In April 2006 the album was released in Germany after it had been available in the USA since November 2005. In the summer of 2006 he toured the United States with Breaking Point .
After Creed split up in 2004, they reunited in 2009, when a new album entitled Full Circle was released on October 30, 2009 .
The deluxe version of the 2010 Santana solo album Guitar Heaven contains a version of the CCR song Fortunate Son with Stapp as a guest singer of the piece. In 2004 he was also featured in the TV movie 30 Days Until I'm Famous .
In November 2014, his wife filed for divorce. In the divorce papers, Stapps mentions the use of crystal meth, amphetamines, and steroids. According to his wife, he attempted suicide again earlier this year and was detained in a mental hospital. His wife said he had escaped from psychiatry and was planning to threaten the American president. At the beginning of 2015, Scott Stapp finally entered professional hands and has since gone through a 12-step program for the treatment of his addictive disease and diagnosed bipolar disorder . His wife has withdrawn the petition for divorce. On March 22, 2019, the single Purpose for Pain with music video was released as a precursor to his third solo album The Space Between the Shadows , which was announced for July, via the Austrian music label Napalm Records .
