Scott Cain

Scott "Maxwell" Cain, or Scott Cain is the winner of the third Australian Popstars competition in 2002. He first entered the charts with his version of Stevie Wonder's "Superstition", which was featured on a Popstars Final 7 compilation single that peaked at #7. His first solo single after winning the competition was "I'm Moving On", which reached #1 and spent some time on the charts afterwards. However Cain's stardom quickly diminished; the followup "Crazy People Rock" was much less successful, peaking only at #36. His subsequent album "Controlled Folly" peaked at #49 before sinking to #123 and disappearing entirely. Both of his initial singles are notable for having been written by Gregg Alexander of New Radicals fame. He also released the non-album single "Oceans in Between", a collaboration with Ekko M.C. limited to 1000 copies and released only through his website.

In 2003 he began hosting the AMTV show on the Disney Channel, and released the stand-alone single "Step Into My World". The following year, Cain signed with ABC Kids and soon released his second album entitled Roller Coaster, which was mostly a commercial failure but met limited airplay success with the song "Hilary Duff". Later that year he supported Hilary Duff on her national Australian tour.

According to his former management company AAA Entertainment, Cain has "left the entertainment industry" as of 2006.
