Scott Stapp has formally been welcomed—with arms wide open—into the bass music community. Wooli and Trivecta have tapped the Creed frontman for an anthemic collaboration called “Light Up The Sky.” “Light Up The Sky” is a story of growth and how change comes from within. The triumphant feel of the tune helps convey this message as soaring melodies and explosive synths lead the charge. Stapp’s distinct timbre adds to the commanding feel of the arrangement, helping cultivate an inspirational atmosphere. In his first foray into electronic music, everything felt natural for Stapp. “When I first heard the track, I instantly started recording melodies and lyrics. The piano, builds, crescendos, drops, and overall vibes just connect...

It’s an odd cast, but maybe that’s just what the doctor ordered to kick off Stapp’s acting career. Either way, the experienced frontman is excited to portray such a legendary artist on the...
