Biography
Early career
Scally was born and raised in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, noting: "It’s a place where people can make music intensely, because you don’t have to make much [money] to live [there]."[1]
In 2004, Scally founded Beach House with Victoria Legrand: "We were both just kind of knocking around Baltimore right in our early 20s, and met doing a different musical project, and then this kind of grew out of it."[2] Regarding their early shows, Scally noted: "I'm really glad nobody came to our shows at the start, because we had no idea what we were doing."[3]
