Early Career

As a very young man in 1985, Neil was signed to Elecstar Records on a two-single deal and, similarly, in 1986 to Pyramid Records (EMI). The latter received TV coverage and radio play in Great Britain.

Neil was voted Best Voice in 1988 in Cosmopolitan Magazine and in the same year was the subject of music articles published in Company, Miz and 19.
