Scott Wexton was born in Detroit, Michigan and began playing the organ at the age of ten as a Catholic altar boy.
[3] The group dissolved in 1995 and Wexton moved to Nashville where he was recruited to play the sampler in Today Is the Day with singer/guitarist Steve Austin and drummer Brad Elrod.
[4] In 2001, Wexton had a near death experience when he began bleeding internally and was rushed to the emergency room, where he was diagnosed with Crohn's disease.
The episode affected Wexton, who became aware of his own mortality and his need to express his individual musical creativity.
He quit his day job and began a solo musical project called Voodoo Organist, booking two consecutive tours for himself and composing an album's worth of material.
