Scott Jelinek 🇮🇹

About the channel

Born and raised in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Grandpa built fiddles, a piano was always in the house and everyone sang hymns in church. At 5yrs, Scott began violin. At 12yrs his grandpa gave him an old guitar that he plugged into a karaoke machine and began playing. In 2012 he got hired at a restaurant where a band happened to work. After meeting with the guitar player it clicked! He could finally sing and play guitar at once! He began going to band practice, and eventually they let him sit in. Within months, the band let him join, and he began gigging. In 2013, he went to Spain and walked the Camino di Santiago, where he played in the street and upped his chops. He returned to the US to be with the band, but left again in 2014. Walking from Rome to Jerusalem, he met his wife in Italy and would return there. The next 4 years, he lived in Italy and had his first two kids. He began speaking and writing songs in Italian. In 2018 they moved back to KC, where he continues music.
