History
Neale was a founding member of Brisbane band Velociraptor in 2008.[2] In November 2017, Neale released his debut album, Getting the Team Back Together[3]
At the 2018 Queensland Music Awards, Neale won Song of the Year for "Dancin' & Romancin'". In that year he also won QMusic’s Grant McLennan Scholarship. This enabled him to attend a songwriting masterclass at New York University.[2] Neale hosted the National Live Music Awards of 2019[4]
In February 2020, Neale released his second studio album, We Were Trying To Make It Out which was written in Brisbane and New York City over two years.[1] He has spoken of the album's songs being about "the day-to-day struggles of the working class" presented in an upbeat fashion, "because I love things that sit at about 140-150 beats per minute".[2] The Ramones and Prefab Sprout have influenced his sound.
