Hoffman was born to a Jewish family, he lived most of his childhood in Lexington, Kentucky; attending Henry Clay High School. He attended Columbia University, where he studied writing and music production, and subsequently worked in the field of dance music. He had previously met Jake Shears - then still known as Jason Sellards - through a childhood friend, and Hoffman asked Shears to provide vocals for his tracks. When Hoffman moved to New York to study writing at Columbia, the duo officially joined forces and took stage names to become the first two members of Scissor Sisters in 2001. At the time, the band was just a combination of Babydaddy’s music and Jake’s vocal and visual performances. The band logo was designed by Babydaddy, who has since said that "it was sort of the first couple of days, and we decided to record music, and Jake had the name on the tip of his tongue. He told it to me, and I made the logo the next day. It was sort of done and made sense. And then we performed." Scott Hoffman is the bearded multi instrumentalist of the Scissors Sisters known as Babydaddy he was born in 1976 on the 1st of September in Lexington, Kentucky USA where he grew up as a Jewish American and thanks his parents "for telling me I wasn't fat, just 'husky'."

In his Early years Babydaddy went to kindergarten with the producer of the American radio show NPR All Things Considered, Alison McAdam. Babydaddy describes his childhood as being spent as "a rock-and-roll kid" - he attended the Henry Clay High School before later heading to University . His university of choice was Columbia University in New York, where he studied writing and after studied music production and progressed into dance music. At this stage Scott had previously met Jake Shears (or Jason Sellards as he was still known by then) through a mutal childhood friend from Kentucky. He asked Jake to provide vocals for his tracks. When Scott moved to New York to study writing at Columbia, the duo officially joined forces and took stage names to become the first two members of Scissor Sisters in 2001. The band was formed from the idea of combining Baby Daddy's music ,Jake's vocal's and crazy performances which included Jake's Go Go dancing.

The Scissors Sisters logo came from the mind cogs of Baby Daddy too. "It was sort of the first couple of days, and we decided to record music, and Jake had the name on the tip of his tongue. He told it to me, and I made the logo the next day. It was sort of done and made sense. And then we performed." Since then, the band has grown and recruited further members, Ana Matronic, Del Marquis & Paddy Boom, (who has most recently parted ways with the band) and in the process has expanded its original musical style to cover the rock, disco and dance music genres.

The bands multi instrumentalist Baby Daddy plays a number of instruments from Keyboards (The Access Virus Indigo Keyboard), Guitar, Bass, and most recently he has taught himself to play the Banjo.
