Following the breakout success of her debut single “Sometimes,” UK artist AC Scott steps back into the spotlight with “15 Minutes of Fame,” a slow-burning piano ballad that grows into a striking emotional swell. The track marks the next bold chapter in Scott’s unexpected and powerful rise as a songwriter.

While “Sometimes” was an intimate moment of confession, “15 Minutes of Fame” widens the lens. Scott reflects on the way culture elevates people quickly and drops them just as fast, pulling inspiration from friends and peers who learned firsthand what a fleeting spotlight feels like.

Scott’s emergence as a musician is as remarkable as her voice. Before turning to songwriting, she was a chart-topping broadcaster, Sony award-winning radio host, bestselling novelist, and familiar TV presence on The One Show. Music found her later in life, when a degenerative lung condition forced her to leave broadcasting behind. What began as a private escape at her father’s old desk soon became hundreds of songs and collaborations that stretched from Scotland to Los Angeles.

Her upcoming debut album, arriving in early 2026, promises a wide sonic palette, rock grit, funk swing, intimate torch songs, shaped by the storytelling tradition she grew up with and the eclectic influences of her long broadcasting career. It echoes Judie Tzuke, Marianne Faithfull and Julia Fordham, while still sounding unmistakably her own.

Raised in Aberdeen, surrounded by her father’s instruments, Craig set aside early musical dreams to pursue television and radio. After years interviewing icons such as Bryan Ferry and Victoria Beckham and earning awards in both the UK and the U.S., her life changed dramatically in 2012. A series of lung collapses led to a diagnosis of LAM, forcing her off the air and onto a new path entirely.

She wrote novels, including a bestselling trilogy later adapted for film development by Jason Connery, but even then, music kept calling. A songwriting retreat on Scotland’s west coast unlocked a flood of creativity. Mentored by industry veteran Kate Hyman and collaborating with Emmy-winning producer Andrew Rollins, Craig found herself back in the center of a dream she thought she lost.

“15 Minutes of Fame” is a moving reminder that moments come and go, but the truth we write in them lasts far longer than fame itself.
