Name’s Mychal (pronounced Michael) Scott. And yes, I’ve had my fair share The Office references. Kinda ironic that my first job in television was working directly with the First AD of the sitcom, Rusty Mahmood.

I started my creative career in 2018. What began as an ill-advised journey into scrappy filmmaking, with a $1,300 budget has blossomed into a lifelong commitment to the storytelling craft.

But this wasn’t the first path. Storytelling was second nature as a rapper trying to make it out of Memphis. So when I couldn’t break in or land sync placements, I said “f*** it, I’ll do it myself.” It was during those early years when I realized I wasn’t just a rapper. I was a storyteller, and music was just the first medium I had access to.

Now, with a whole lot of hustle and a pretty incredible lucky streak, I’m working with the incredible minds here at West BBDO, making the impossible happen day-in and day-out. When I’m not managing pressure cooking timelines, I live a pretty simple life with my partner Brooke. You’ll find me out exploring a new hiking trail, trying a new recipe at the crib, watching a psychological thriller or crime drama, or just out catching a vibe with friends and loved ones… ‘cause at the end of the day I’m just a kid from Memphis living in LA.
