Neal was born on the 14th of August, 1994 in Zwolle, The Netherlands.

His father is an opera-singer at the National Opera in Amsterdam. Neal got his musical background from his father(Neal's mother is a teacher).

At the age of 7, Neal went auditioning for a classical children's choir. The National Children's Choir. A famous children's choir. Neal went on tours with them to France, Denmark and Germany. Neal learned singing hear.

After years, when Neal was 12, he left the choir because his voice was changing. He took a long musical rest en found out that the piano was very interesting. He taught himself playing the wonderful instrument.

While Neal as 14 years old, he started playing piano intensively and discovered the blues.

And he loves it.

Neal is also part of a band Say What? which gives him a great boost in playing the piano and his eagerness to learn.

When Neal was 15 he started having piano lessons.
