My Question is simply this.  There is an artist that goes by a great
number of surnames (Scott Albert, Klay Scott, Celldweller, Dred,
Deathewish, etc. . .) I am trying to find out some actual, real
biographical information on this person.  I have found bits and pieces
of information on him here and there on the internet, but overall I
haven't gotten anything really concrete.  I am looking for his real
name and date of birth, along with other biographical information that
could be
found.  I know he is from New York City and I believe he currently
resides there.  His most recent name is supposedly Klay Scott, and
this is also supposedly his last name change.  If you could help me in
finding this information for my research, it would be greatly
appreciated.  Thank you for your time and consideration in the matter.

Hello:

I was able to find information on the artist and his work but it seems
that there is little information on the childhood of the artist. From
my findings I have been able to verify that he is a native of New York
and his real name is Scott Albert (you will find the info on the links
I provided) but I couldn't get his date of birth. Anyway, I am still
working on it and as soon as I find something relevant I will post it.
Give me three days.

I hope that the information will help you. If you don’t find it
satisfactory, please clarify and I will try to come out with more
specific details. Thank You.

Sincerely,

The links and information you gave me has so far been helpful, as any
information will be at this point, because he is a tough one to find
things on.  Anyway, I am in no rush so if you need three more days to
find out more (especially that birthdate), that's fine.  Thanks again
for the info. so far, it's greatly appreciated.

  Just wondering if you have made any progress in finding the
information you were unable to find in your original answer??  You
said to give you three days and it has been about a week now.  My card
was charged $25.50, which I was more than willing to pay, but I am
hoping to get the rest of the information I requested for that amount
of money.  I am not trying to badger you or be rude, I would just like
to hear what progress has been made.  I feel that $25.00 was a very
generous/reasonable amount of money to pay for this information, and
since I really want this information, it is worth it to me.  Please
contact me when you know more.  I am patiently waiting to hear back
and understand that you may need more time to find out what I have
asked for.

Hello:

To tell you the truth I have been looking for the date of birth or any
existing information about the artist but without any success. I think
th ebio was listed in the offical circle of dust website which have
been taken down. I will try the library and other sources tommorow. .
If I come or dont come up with anything by 12 am tommorow night I will
let you know. In the mean time If you wish you can ask for the refund.
Thats your money. Thanks again.

Hello Again.

I tried to do my best but it looks that the information for the artist
is rare. The official website of circle of dust http://www.dusted.com
and http://www.Klank.net are both down BUT I think your best bet is to
contact the celldwellwer production team itself. Click on the
following link and you will find address and number of emails to
contact and get the info you need.
http://www.celldweller.com/index.html

I was able to find a personal address of the artist. Here it is:

CellDweller Subversives
Klay Scott
PO Box 305
Bethpage, NY 11714

I hope this will work. Please let me know if it is helpful or should I
look for more. Please don’t hesitate to get a refund because its your
money and if you think you haven’t got a satisfactory answer, please
do whatever you deem appropriate. Thanks again. Good luck with your
research.

This researcher tried to find information on an artist to which there
is little public information on to begin with.  He made about 4
attempts and although he was unable to find certain pieces of the
puzzle I was loooking for, he did a great job.  I figured there would
be a good possibility I wouldn't get all the info. I was looking for,
but this researcher found just about whatever was available on the
net.  He did a great job despite the fact that there was a lack of
information to be found, and he replied to all my inquiries very
quickly.  Good job, thanks again for trying.
