Singer Composer Musician Producer

About Me

Neah learned to play the different instruments available at home at an early age. Later on she also started to sing. Eventually singing became her most flexible instrument. Music was a big part of her youth but art and drawing was also a passion. as well as spending time with the animals on her parent's farm! Being kind of shy about her voice she reached the age of 19 before she ever sang solo in public. It was a well kept secret until then.
She first tasted musical success when she won a major regional song contest, which led to her recording her own mini-CD. Shortly there after she got signed to a wellknown record company in Sweden. When the record deal didn't turn out the way she wanted to, she decided to take the matter into her own hands and become independent as a producer, learning the hows of making music. She started investing in equipment and knowledge to enable her to produce on her own
In 2004 Neah produced the charity album "Inte så ensam" for Save the Childen foundation (Rädda Barnen) in Sweden and she continues to lend her voice and music to charity fundraising whenever she can.
Neah is a selftaught singer-musician-songwriter and she collects musical instruments and uses them in her recordings. She says "it's when playing an instrument you don't fully control that the most unexpected melodies come to you. It is impossible to fall into old patterns. Then when the melody or harmony is found you can go back to the instruments you're more comfortable playing and take it from there."
She now works freelance as an artist/composer/producer and has written music for well-known swedish artists, film/tv and for radio and commercials. The last few years she has expanded her craft into experimenting with singing jazz, classical music and she has appeared in leading roles in some musical productions.
In 2004 Neah produced the charity album "Inte så ensam" for Save the Childen foundation (Rädda Barnen) in Sweden and she continues to lend her voice and music to charity fundraising whenever she can.
At the moment she spends most of her time composing and producing new music in her studio working on an album expected for release sometime in 2008. The song "Strange world" is the first single from that album. "I'm not sure where it's going yet because I don't want to use too much of my old material and I'm keeping my options open for every whim I get. I want to find out what I sound like right now, allowing myself time to experiment, being patient enough to wait for it to click. One thing's for sure. The album will be eclectic, just like me."
