About Neil MacLeod
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories is singing in choirs as a kid. I loved the feeling of singing in harmony with others... it felt freeing and almost magical. I think that's where my desire to sing really took shape.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Burial, Untrue James Blake, Overgrown (Deluxe Edition) ROSALÍA, EL MAL QUERER I chose these three albums because they all represent pivotal moments for me in terms of how I thought about music. They all surprised me immensely and made me question whether I was challenging myself enough in my craft. Forever groundbreaking IMO.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Fear” I chose this song because it's the first time I released something entirely written, produced and mixed by me. It's probably the first song I've shown to the world where there was NO compromise involved at all. Pure vision. I'm proud of that.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Getting my song 'Fear' into the New Zealand charts. For a long time I assumed music like mine would never be embraced at home; that I would need to leave the country for people to 'get' my music. Charting really shifted my perspective on that.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? To make my next best work. That's the only thing I care about really.
