Neil Hollyn makes songs for the growing pains, the figuring-it-outs, and the climbing-back-ups after the falling-downs. Bright melodies and layered guitars, part soft-rock, part indie-pop sheen. His lyrics don’t try to fix you; they sit beside you and say: “same, I know how you feel.”
From The Hague and currently Artist in Residence at PAARD (’25), Neil builds a sound that bridges the emotional lift and drive of The Goo Goo Dolls with the conversation-like intimacy of Holly Humberstone and Jeremy Zucker. His debut EP Too Late To The Party (2021) drew strong support from Spotify and Apple Music, while the single September Moon was literally launched into space for charity
