At the age of eleven he began to take guitar lessons, initially to Bavarian folk songs, until he discovered rock 'n' roll for himself. In 1983 Bullock founded his first band Flames, with whom he made dance music. In 1985 he got to know musicians from Regensburg and Nuremberg, with whom he played exclusively rock'n'roll and rockabilly numbers in the trio for the first time . Various lineups, formations and band names (Rebel Cats, Black Jacket and the Cats, Let'z Fetz, Bruise Boys and, most recently, Duetones) followed. With these bands Bullock played numerous concerts in Bavaria, but also in Austria and Italy as well as all over Germany. At the same time, Scotty performed solo with guitar and harmonica in bars and pubs.

During this time, Bullock self-taught himself to play the double bass by playing to the music of records and music cassettes . As a double bass player, he recorded the 10 ″ LP “Bölkstoff On The Rocks” in 1992 with the studio band “Ol 'Rockin' Bordsteinkloppers” - the first record he was involved in. In 1996 Bullock recorded the vinyl EP "Too Late" with the quartet Duetones. This time all the songs were from Bullock. The sound carrier was released in 1997 on Part Records.

Back in Bavaria, he founded the band Scotty Bullock and the Stampeders in 1998, with whom he released the album "Dusty Roads". Most of the songs on the record are original compositions.
