Scott Scovill’s My Name Is Christmas
The album will feature a mix of the season’s most beloved holiday classics, such as “The Christmas Song,” “Here Comes Santa Claus,” and “White Christmas,” along with catchy new originals, “My Name Is Christmas,” “Snow Day,” and more.
My Name Is Christmas puts Scovill’s soulful baritone voice on display and captures the essence of the holiday season. The title track, “My Name Is Christmas” is now available through all streaming platforms and digital retailers (listen here).

Sentimental memories of love and giving instilled from his parents is what inspired Scovill to record a holiday album saying:
“Christmas is love. It’s a holiday with so much giving. My parents instilled the importance of giving in to me, and it took.”
The joy of the season, coupled with the warmth he feels when listening to holiday classics from Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Burl Ives, as well as recent releases from Brad Paisley, helped him envision the creation of My Name Is Christmas.

One of the album’s standouts is the title track, which is written from the unique perspective of “what would Christmas have to say?” Scovill commented about the song saying:
“My goal was to write a new Christmas song that would sound like a classic. It would have a classic vibe, use a full orchestra, be breathy, have range, and would set me crooning. I enlisted Madeline Stone, who I have truly connected with as a co-writer, and we set to work.”
“We made it a conversation between a girl who loves Christmas, and Christmas itself. For us, it fell together and felt magical. With Hanne Sorvaag’s beautiful vocals, it became better than I could have ever imagined.”
