Joss is proving to be excellent choice as opening act because of his evocative vocals and his ability on guitar, mandolin, and fiddle. Before he was old enough to vote, he won the California State Men’s Fiddle Champion three years in a row. He went from that achievement to playing with some of the most noted names in the industry, including Dwight Yoakam, Pete Anderson, Tiny Moore, Roy Nichols, Dusty Wakeman, and Joss’ fiddle teacher, Jana Jae (of Buck Owens fame).

Scott Joss was just 18 years old when he made his debut as one of The Strangers. “That first show with Merle was quite an amazing experience,” Joss states, “considering it was at Carnegie Hall. Nothing like starting off with a little pressure.”

At the start of the decade, Joss collaborated with Doug Colosio, John Scott G and Haggard on the song “Bad Actor,” which appears on Hag’s Vanguard album “I Am What I Am” released in April, 2010, to rave reviews and which achieved the distinction of appearing on both the Country and Pop charts of Billboard magazine.

The team of Scott Joss and Doug Colosio released their own album last year, “A Couple of Strangers,” on Golosio Records. Defying superstition, the collection offers 13 tracks, all of which are available on Amazon and iTunes.

“I have been living with and mentoring girls who have been abused or victimized in some way throughout their entire lives,” Wylie wrote in her winning essay titled Beauty from Ashes. “One of the many ways they have inspired me is by giving me the dream to help their outer beauty match their inner beauty.”

Wylie, who recently started classes at the Marinello Schools of Beauty’s Redding, Calif. campus, wrote in her essay of her desire to start a program on campus where abused women could get their hair, make-up and nails done by Marinello students for free. In addition to helping the women feel better about themselves, Wylie hopes that such a program would allow her fellow students to “leave with a sense of fulfillment such as I have experienced just by being around the girls I have mentored.”

“Jessica Wylie is the kind of student we want the Marinello Raw Talent Scholarship program to benefit,” says Dr. Rashed Elyas, CEO of Marinello Schools of Beauty. “Her personal ambition goes beyond herself to consider the impact her work can have on other people. Marinello Schools of Beauty is proud to have her as a student.”

“It is my time to give back and make a difference in the lives of others,” Wylie wrote.

The exclusive Raw Talent High School Scholarship program allows students to express their desires for a rewarding career in the Beauty Industry, offering $30,000 between five fortunate seniors each year. Scholarship candidates were required to submit an essay describing how they plan to make a difference as a professional in the Beauty Industry. Upon review, selected finalists from each category of Cosmetology and Esthetics are then challenged to showcase their creativity and talent for the skills portion of the competition. In addition to the $10,000 scholarship awarded Wylie, Marinello Schools of Beauty handed out four scholarships of $5,000 each.
