Scott has had a lifelong passion for rhythm and low-end groove. His musical journey began at age nine on the organ in his childhood home; at seventeen he switched to bass guitar to play with high school friends.

Career and family put music on hold for a while, but in his late forties the passion came back strong. He rebuilt his skills on his own and returned to the stage in 2014 with the classic rock band Bucketlist, later playing with the Steve Franklin Band and the Reflectors — the project that grew into Living Daylights.

Billy got his first guitar for Christmas in 1965 and played his first public show at school in 1969. He taught guitar at summer school for two years, played his first real gig at a 1971 block party, and landed his first bar and club gig in 1974 — he has been playing bars and clubs ever since.

Along the way he spent two and a half years in a country band, three years in an original rock band and a year and a half in an eleven-piece blues and Motown R&B band. He calls Living Daylights the best band he has ever been in.

A primary school teacher noticed Dayle's natural rhythm, and in high school he picked up drums and singing. Entirely self-taught, he formed his first band with friends just two weeks after picking up the sticks.

For over five decades he has played original, cover and tribute acts across California, Arizona and Idaho. His drumming is driven by the joy of making music and a genuine connection with every audience.
