  • He was born in the Bronx.
  • Tee's remixes includes First Choice's Love Thang, Junior Giscombe's Mama Used To Say, Northend's Happy Days and Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway's Back Together Again.
  • Among the first to use three turntables and sound effects, he was known for "riding" two or more records at a time, and as an innovator of the modern club mix. On September 20, 2004 Tee was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame for his many outstanding achievement as a DJ.

After graduating from George Westinghouse High School, Scott was offered a full scholarship to Wilberforce University, but he declined in favor of helping to create this new form of music, which seemed tailor-made for someone whose main interests were popular music (particularly R&B) and electronics.
  • He received an A.S.
  • degree in computer science from ITT Tech, conferred posthumously. Scott built his reputation at the club Better Days on 49th Street between 8th & 9th Avenues in Manhattan, where he was resident DJ for over six years.
  • Initially he not only DJ'd, he simultaneously worked the light show.
  • With his background in electronics, he was instrumental in designing and installing the lights and sound system in the club.
  • He DJ'd at Club Zanzibar in Newark, New Jersey in the 1980s as well, home to the Jersey Sound brand of deep house or garage house.
  • Tee was a regular and/or guest DJ as Cheetah, Mellon, Sound Factory, Clubhouse in DC, Warehouse in Chicago and many other clubs.
  • He was one of the few DJs allowed to spin at the legendary Paradise Garage.
  • He also gave Frankie Knuckles his first DJ gig -- Mondays and Tuesdays at the Better Days. One of the seminal Tee Scott interviews was conducted by Danny Wang: https://www.boysownproductions.com/zine/2018/1/30/daniel-wang-meets-tee-scott
