Hi there, I'm Neil Douglas.I was born on the 17 May 1980, in Mildura Victoria. From there I travelled around Australia with my parents, who are both musicians. When I was 12 we stopped travelling and settled in Wellington, NSW. Next I went to Dubbo, where I started playing guitar. Then I went to Tweed Heads for a year. I moved back to Dubbo and started singing, but I was too afraid to sing in front of anyone until I was 19. The first time I ever sang in front of anyone was in Dubbo at the Castlreigh Hotel. I sang Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis. Ever since then, I became addicted to singing in front of people so I kept singing in front of people whether it was with a live band or Karaoke. In 2000 and 2001 I won the Australia Day talent quest in Narromine, NSW. In 2001 just before I won the the Australia Day talent quest I had been at Tamworth with my newly purchased music equiptment. I was lucky enough to meet Adam Harvery who was walking past where I was busking and he stopped and listened. He waited until I had finished singing and handed me $100 and told me to put it towards my first album. At that stage I think Adam Harvey had just released his album "Working Overtime". I also got to sing with Lee Kernaghan. After that I lost my voice for a month. In 2003 and 2004 I won the Elvis Soundalike competition at Parkes, NSW. I moved back to Tweed Heads and kept performing. I moved to Ipswich after that and made it into the finals for the World Karaoke Championships, I won the Ipswich Idol Contest. I sang with Gretchen Wilson at the Tivoli theatre and got to meet John Rich (Big n Rich). I continued with my singing at Karaoke's and won Lowood Idol! Through my last competition I have just recorded a three track demo, with interviews and gigs. I'll keep you all posted. there are a few more things I'd like to add here if anyone would like a copy of a CD email me on
[email protected] I am moving to nashville october 2008 to join band for sining career.
