NEELEY

Neeley is an American singer, songwriter, and musician from Los Angeles, California. Her lyrics tell the stories of her life, highlighting new perspectives on all-too-familiar feelings.

          While working at companies like Truly Music, Whoosh Music, OC Hit, and The Beehive MGMT in recent years, Neeley embraced her role as an artist with the release of her debut single, "27." This was followed by three additional singles—"take a number," "catalyst," and "porcelain"—which featured two visualizers and an animated music video she wrote and directed in collaboration with Moonshot Animations. This animated short won Best Short (Overall) at the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival and Best Music Video at the Best Shorts LA festival. 

         While Neeley pursues her artist project, she has long leaned into her passions for songwriting for other artists and making music that would one day end up on the big screen. This early passion led her to start collaborating with fellow writers at the age of 13, when she partnered with DNT Management to establish her first publishing entity, Real Me Publishing. With a backlog ranging across multi-genre, her publishing entity has collaborated on campaigns for brands like Amazon Prime, Ciroc, and Rooms To Go (with HTLST), since then. Her latest songwriting credit for radio, "Hold On" with Ottowa-based Rap artist Lexnour debuted to his amassed 1Million+ followers and 363K monthly listeners on Spotify on January 10th, 2025, paired with Laci Meredes' powerful 2020 single "Using you, using me too" nearing 600,000 streams to start 2025 off on a high note.

         In 2025, Neeley plans to draw back the curtain to share some of the projects she's worked on that have yet to break out of the sync libraries they were made for. This project will be a selection of cover works influenced by her singer-songwriter and Folk/Pop sound, reimagining tracks from artists like Fleetwood Mac and Al Green. Neeley's cinematic version of 'Maneater' by Daryl Hall and John Oates, that released to all streaming platforms on March 14th, 2025 through DSCVRD Music, inspired the idea to make more cover works, but this time, with arrangements that would pair seamlessly with her own original music.
