Social media is the new gateway to success, and that rings true for one local talent who was found through Instagram.

With his sensational vocals and large following, it captured the attention of a management team based out of Nashville.

Since then, Berg has been working hard to grow his craft by sharing covers, duets and local performances.
In the past month, Berg has been discovered once again over social media, this time by an independent music label based out of Abbotsford.
Predominant Studio's Inc reached out to Berg over Instagram and was eager to sign him onto their team of star-studded talent.
It all came together pretty quickly indicated Berg, over the course of a dinner at the Kelowna Yacht Club, Scotty signed onto a brand new experience with Predominant.
“It’s pretty crazy because it’s been a dream of mine for so long, and for it to finally happen is just pretty surreal to me,” Berg told KelownaNow.
