SCOTT & LILA (Scott Hildebrand and Lila Despoix) are an acoustic duo from Chicago/Paris, and based in Berlin. They met when Lila spontaneously joined Scott while he was busking in the streets of Berlin in 2019.

They perform their original songs with synergistic vocal harmonies, accompanied by guitar, harmonica and ukulele. Their "feel good" music warms the hearts of their listeners, and fuses Indie Folk, Blues and Jazz, with a fresh modern twist.

In 2019, SCOTT & LILA embarked on a tour of Europe and Asia. When the pandemic hit in 2020, they found themselves "stuck" in Sri Lanka. Embracing this unexpected turn, they immersed themselves in songwriting while living in a small jungle village, producing a wealth of new music and creating captivating music videos.

Upon returning to Berlin, SCOTT & LILA shared the stage with artists; Steph Stings, Anthony Lazaro, John Craigie, Beranger, and The Hoosiers. The duo’s music featured on rotation on German "RBB Radio." And they performed live on ZDF German Television and Deutschlandfunkkultur German radio.

SCOTT & LILA released a double single with Anthony Lazaro, which achieved international success and now has 2 million streams on Spotify. 

SCOTT & LILA's spontaneous street performances have garnered them a significant following on TikTok, with multiple viral videos capturing their raw, authentic style. Their talent and hard work were recognized with funding from the German cultural association, Initiative Musik, for their debut album, which culminated in a sold out release show at Maschinenhaus in der Kulturbrauerei Berlin, and three songs from their debut album achieving continued rotation slots on RBB radio Germany.

SCOTT & LILA are now working on their second album and have released the lead-up 2026 EP “Lay Low.”
