BLUETONES music star Scott Morriss was one of the biggest stars of the 90s thanks to the group's success.<\/p>\n

These days the bass player has a very different job – and lives out in Japan with his family.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Scott, 50, was a founding member of the English indie rock band The Bluetones in 1993, alongside his older brother Mark who was the frontman.<\/p>\n

In the UK charts the group scored 13 top 40 singles and three top ten albums. <\/p>\n

Their debut album titled Expecting to Fly reached the coveted number one spot and has since been certified Platinum. <\/p>\n

Although the group did not match the success with any of their other albums, their third outing Science & Nature reached number seven.<\/p>\n

Scott also played in his brother's backing group which was called The Mummy's.<\/p>\n

The band was active between 1993 and 2011 but we reported the group are going back on the road.<\/p>\n

But decades later, the star works as an animator in Tokyo, Japan with his wife and their daughter. <\/p>\n

On his official website, the star wrote: "I had always held a keen interest in animation since childhood but it wasn\u2019t until my mid-thirties that I decided it was something I wanted to do for a living.<\/p>\n

He has so far had a successful career in the art as he had worked on children's programmes and educational shows. <\/p>\n

Projects include a credit as the Lead Animator on two seasons of the award winning Sky Kids programme, The Brilliant World of Tom Gates.<\/p>\n

He was also the Art Director to the animation department for a documentary feature which was screened at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in 2022.<\/p>\n
