A 14-year-old Kelowna singer is turning heads, earning comparisons to some high-calibre talent and a cross-border invitation to record a few of his songs.
Scotty Berg is working with Circle 11 Entertainment, a management company that found him through social media. The company乌鸦传媒檚 CEO said Berg bears some striking similarities to some of today乌鸦传媒檚 most popular pop stars.
乌鸦传媒淚 just saw in him what I saw in Shawn Mendes,乌鸦传媒� said C.L. Rose, Circle 11乌鸦传媒檚 CEO and owner, who has worked with notable artists like Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande and the Jonas Brothers.
乌鸦传媒淗e just had this really rich spirit about him at a young age. Scotty乌鸦传媒檚 got a very similar thing going on. He乌鸦传媒檚 got natural instinct with melody. He乌鸦传媒檚 very musically inclined, he乌鸦传媒檚 a great guitar player. His voice has already changed and he still has such a high beautiful tone.乌鸦传媒�
Although Circle 11 found Berg through Instagram, it乌鸦传媒檚 his TikTok account that乌鸦传媒檚 getting a lot of attention.
He only joined the platform about six months ago and he already has almost 40,000 followers. He attributes his following to a video he posted of himself singing Frank Sinatra乌鸦传媒檚 Fly Me To The Moon, which has just over 532,000 views. Berg will meet up with the Circle 11 team in Nashville in June to put down some of his tracks.
乌鸦传媒淭he scouters found my page and introduced me to the top guys at Circle 11,乌鸦传媒� Berg told the Capital News.

Berg will head to Nashville alongside his dad, who has overseen his career every step of the way, including vetting the record label to ensure their message to his son was legitimate. Upon their visit, Berg will find out how many songs he will produce.
The pop singer has been performing since he was 10 years old. His downtime during the pandemic inspired him to write his latest single, It Ain乌鸦传媒檛 Over.
乌鸦传媒淲hile so many people got caught up in complaining about everything when COVID hit, I was more interested in those stories of people helping one another or coming together to lift each other up. Those were the good things we got from this pandemic and so I really wanted to write a song that focused on that, on the good in humanity that came through during all this,乌鸦传媒� said Berg.
He was also recently nominated for the City of Kelowna乌鸦传媒檚 Civic Award for Teen Honour in the Arts, recognizing his charitable donations to organizations by raising money through his performances.
