Panchromatic: Spectrum of Possibilities
Scott Booker
Since 1990, Scott Booker has managed Oklahoma City’s three-time Grammy Award-winning world famous band, The Flaming Lips. An Oklahoma City native and graduate of Central State University (now University of Central Oklahoma), Booker has also guided the careers of dozens of award-winning artists while endeavoring to equip them for success in the music industry. In 2003, Booker established World’s Fair Label Group as a way of enabling artists to self-release their own music. In 2009, Booker turned his attention to establishing the Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma (ACM@UCO), a university-based program that teaches students about the music business, music production, and performance. Since its establishment, ACM@UCO has attracted thousands of students and featured master classes led by notable guest artists such as Roger Daltrey, Nile Rodgers, Jackson Browne, and others
