  Scott Lovelady: Lead/Background Vocals

Scott grew up in Manhattan and found he was attracted to the arts at a young age. His father was a master puppeteer who worked with "The Muppets", as did Scott. He later joined an infamous ballet troop named "Countdown to Infinity" who toured the tristate area. Scott soon was bitten by the music bug after performing in several plays including various highschool musicals, an off broadway version of "Grease", "To Kill a Mockingbird", and "Vertical Burt" - the story of a man who went through life with his knees fused together after a bizarre welding accident.

He soon became involved in several diverse and exciting musical projects including high energy rock act "Fat Bastard" (along with Eric Presti), the highly touted polka band "Stand Up - Sit Down", smooth jazz band "SilverSurfer", funk/rock act "Third World Lover", and heavy metal act "GIMP". Scott's uncanny ability to simulate many different vocalists along with his high energy/witty stage persona, make him a perfect fit for Rubix Kube.
