“With ‘Take You Home’ I wanted to create a Pop/Dance record with some edge,” NEEL said about his latest song. “It’s about meeting a girl and feeling an instant attraction towards her. You just want to spend more time with her, bring her home, and show her your world.”
Born and raised in New Jersey, NEEL grew up surrounded by music. He has been trained in Eastern and Western classical music and is skilled at playing the piano, keyboard, harmonium, tabla, drums, and guitar. The young artist is strongly influenced by R&B, Pop, and Bollywood music, which is reflected in his own original music like his single ‘Mashooqa.’

He was recently awarded “Best Male Singer” amongst competitors around America at the iFab Music Awards. NEEL has produced and sung for films such as the first Marathi-American film, “A Dot Com Mom.” He also sang the track ‘Ishq Allah’ alongside Bollywood singing legend, Javed Ali.
The rising star is not only a talented musician but an artist with a lot of heart. NEEL has supported many charities and worked to bring awareness to numerous organizations. In the past, he has supported UNICEF’s US Fund for the earthquake in Nepal by raising over $2,300 and the prevention of farmers’ suicides in the Indian state of Maharashtra by raising over $1,300.
