Scott Barnhill, an Orlando native, is a celebrated American model and musician whose career has left an indelible mark on the fashion and music industries since the late 1990s. Born on December 2, 1977, in Chicago, Illinois, Barnhill’s modeling journey began at age 17 after being discovered by Cindy Cooper at Pleasure Island in Florida.

His career skyrocketed with a major campaign for Diesel Jeans, shot by Ellen von Unwerth, which launched him into the spotlight. Known for his striking looks and versatility, Barnhill has worked with fashion powerhouses such as Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Valentino, and Gucci. His appearance on the cover of Italian Vogue cemented his status as a fashion icon.

In 2015, Barnhill made a triumphant return to the runway, walking for Versace’s Spring/Summer 2016 menswear show, showcasing his timeless appeal in the industry.

Beyond modeling, Barnhill is also a passionate musician. As the lead vocalist of the band “Scott and the 1015,” he continues to share his artistic vision. Through his music management team, FEMA House, and in collaboration with Fierce Entertainment, producers of Orlando International Fashion Week, Barnhill performed three songs during the event, including the debut of his latest single, Bright Lights.

The song Bright Lights offers a unique perspective, telling the story of the anticipation and thrill of walking a runway through the eyes of a model. Its official release was accompanied by a video project highlighting Orlando International Fashion Week Fall 2024, held at the luxurious Grand Bohemian Hotel in downtown Orlando.
