SCOTT FORSHAW

 

Fifteen years on stages and in studios — from Dubai’s flagship beach club to festival main stages across the Middle East, Europe and Asia, with releases on Armada, Ultra and Toolroom.

With an impressive 15 million global streams already under his belt, Scott Forshaw stands out as one of the foremost producers and DJs in the Middle Eastern dance music scene. Beyond the numbers, his dynamic, festival-ready tracks have caught the attention of major labels worldwide, including Armada, Ultra and Toolroom.

Scott’s music reverberates globally, finding its way into the sets of EDM icons such as David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Hardwell and Steve Aoki. Beyond his solo work, he has co-production credits with John Newman, Altego, Black Caviar and others — cementing his reputation in studios as much as on stages.

On the live circuit, Scott has emerged as one of the premier DJs in the Middle East and Asia. He has shared bills with Calvin Harris, Swedish House Mafia and Major Lazer, and performed alongside the Black Eyed Peas, OneRepublic, Jennifer Lopez and many more across major festivals and arena events.

His list of firsts is unusually long: he played Saudi Arabia’s inaugural Western music concert, performed to over 250,000 people during Dubai’s Fitness Challenge on Sheikh Zayed Road, and was given the honour of closing the Main Stage on the final day of Dubai’s inaugural Untold Festival.

Off the festival circuit, Scott has been a resident at Zero Gravity — Dubai’s biggest and best beach club — since 2016. His consistency has earned him five high-profile award nominations from Time Out and What’s On, winning two in the process, and back-to-back Best Producer wins at the Hype Awards.

Now signed to Perfect Havoc — the management division behind Joel Corry and PS1 — Scott is firmly positioned for the next chapter. With over 250,000 unique monthly listeners on Spotify at peak and a release pipeline lined up across major electronic labels, he is set to extend a body of work already built on global crowds, marquee co-signs and ten-million-plus streams per release.
