Deanii Scott was born and raised in the Bronx, New York. Her mother, Shaila Scott, has been a DJ for 107.5 WBLS for decades.[2][5] Scottie Beam began her radio career first working for KISS FM's street team, and then at Hot 97. She attended Clark Atlanta University but soon dropped out and returned to New York to pursue a career in music.[2]

Scottie worked as digital producer for Columbia Records and then returned to Hot 97 to produce first for Angie Martinez and then for Ebro in the Morning. After ten years at Hot 97, she then took a role as co-host for Revolt TV's State of the Culture and left in 2019.[5][6]

She has worked as a model for brands such as Nike and The North Face.[2][5] She has spoken on issues related to black women, such as colorism.[7][2]

In 2017, Scottie began co-hosting a podcast with four other women (Rebecca "Bex" Francois, Sapphira Martin, Alysha Pamphile, and Gia Peppers), all of whom used to work for Hot 97. Black Girl Podcast focuses on pop culture and issues relevant to young women in the professional world.[8]

In July 2017, she tweeted about being physically attacked by a security guard at Queen's Knockdown Center.[9]

She hosted the 2019 Netflix special Rhythm + Flow:The Aftershow.[10]

In April 2020, it was announced that Scottie would cohost a bi-weekly podcast with BuzzFeed journalist Sylvia Obell called Okay, Now Listen, sponsored by Netflix's Strong Black Lead initiative. The podcast is described as "two Black women discuss[ing] what they're dealing with at any given moment — from belting out gospel to speaking candidly about sex — with a firmly Black cultural frame of reference."[11]
