Neil McKenzie is a a jack of all trades and a master of none. He started his music career when he was a 14 year old Bass player in Scotland, playing in a variety of bands. When he relocated to Amsterdam at the age of 22 he arrived with a backpack and a guitar. As the pressures of responsibility and working life grew, so did the dust on his guitar. Eventually it became a necessity to start playing again. Neil started to attend acoustic open mike nights and jam sessions around the city and within a short time was being asked to organise and host the events. Amsterdam being Amsterdam you can never tell who is going to show up, so Neil had to overcome his biggest fear and start singing. While he struggles to listen to his own voice and understands if you do too, starting to sing has afforded Neil the tools to write songs.

As his peer group of local musicians grew, Neil started to dust off his recording skills and make albums for a variety of artists he came across. He has since given up the office job and follows a music career back in Scotland. His artist website is www.neilmck.com and his company website is www.keep-it-creative.com
