Professional Singer
I have lived in Elk Grove, CA since 2019. I was born in New York and grew up in Wisconsin. I am an extremely positive and motivated person who thoroughly enjoys sharing my gifts and knowledge with other people.
I am a professionally trained opera singer with a theater background. I received my Performer’s Certificate Degree from Northern Illinois University, a Master of Music Degree from Ball State University, and a Bachelor of Music Degree from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities all in Vocal Performance and Opera.
I have performed professionally in the opera world as Lady Ella in Cimarron Opera’s production of Patience and as a chorus member in Wichita Grand Opera’s productions of Otello, Le Nozze di Figaro, Guillame Tell, Tosca, Turandot, and Don Carlo. I also perform professionally as a soloist in the genres of pop, rock, alternative, musical theater, and opera at wineries and various other venues throughout Northern California.
Whatever the venue or event, I look forward to making your event professional and special!
Pricing
I charge $200 to $500 depending on how long a client would like me to perform. Traveling more than one hour is an extra fee and will be determined based on how far I have to go and if I have to stay overnight. I am willing to discuss compensation.
Pricing is negotiable for retirement communities within their budget.
Equipment
I have all my own equipment including a Mackie Thump 212 1,400-watt 12-in Loudspeaker, a Sennheiser Pro Audio EW 100 G4-945-S-A microphone, a Harbinger L808 8-Channel Mixer, Peavy Microphone Stand, and Manhattan Music Stand. I do not need a lot of space for performing. I only need a grounded plug.

Happy Clients
Kerri was a wonderful pleasure to have singing at my wedding. She helped to make my day an utmost memorable one!!
Kerri Lyn Scott has performed at our Winery here at Harmony Wynelands and our Wine Club Members really enjoyed it.
In October 2019, the First Congregational Church in Porterville hosted another Silent Movie ‘extravaganza’ with renowned organ accompanist Dave Moreno. After the 2018 program, we had begged that he think about doing the incomparable “Phantom of the Opera” for 2019. Not only did he give it serious consideration, he revealed that he knew a superb soprano who could sing during the performance! Isn’t it the epitome of every female vocalist to be Christine? Without having seen ‘hide nor hair’ of this singer, nor even asked for an audition, we instead were jumping for joy. It would be thrilling.
Kerri met every expectation and more. She is both unreservedly personable and impressively professional. Lacking expert musical critique abilities, all we could do was be awed and transported by her beautiful voice.
Thank You, Kerri, for the beautiful addition of your talents at this show.
My daughter loves taking lessons from her. Kerri's personality makes the lessons really fun. She teaches my daughter at her level, where she is able to understand things. She's just an awesome teacher!
Let me start this off by saying, I have had a good amount of vocal training in the past and have experienced multiple coaches, so I would consider myself fairly knowledgeable on the voice, techniques/concepts and what to look for in a vocal coach. I had been searching for a consistent, high quality coach in the Sacramento area for a while before meeting Kerri. I knew from our first session she was just the coach I had been searching for. Yes, she has an exemplary resume with her education and experiences, but that is really just the surface. I love her enthusiastic and engaged teaching style which kept me progressing even throughout the session. I had always grown up believing certain people can sing and others were just not blessed with the ability, but the fact is, that idea is completely false. The voice can be trained just like any other muscle, however, the importance of finding the right coach who will properly assist your voice with progressing throughout your training is detrimental. As said previously, I have experienced multiple coaches but none with the education, experience and passion for teaching like Kerri. Very much looking forward to our future sessions and the progress that will continue to be made!
