Neals has brought a fresh and contemporary energy to the blues genre, infusing it with elements of rock, soul and a hard hitting Detroit sound. Considered by many to be “the last Motown trained singer” by the late songwriting legend Barrett Strong Jr., along with her opera degree from Wayne State University, let the Blues choose her. Her dynamic stage presence and powerful voice have contributed to revitalizing traditional blues music, attracting a wider younger audience and garnering attention from listeners who may not typically gravitate towards the genre.
Eliza Neals has embraced new production techniques and experimented with different musical styles, adding a modern edge to her music. She has collaborated with renowned producers and musicians (Joe Louis Walker, King Soloman Hicks, Popa Chubby, Lance Lopez, etc.), successfully bridging the gap between the traditional blues sound and contemporary musical influences on her recordings. Original compositions have garnered Eliza a 2018 Detroit Black Music Award for “Blues Artist of the Year.” and five Detroit Music Awards. A total of 20 nominations in the “Independent Blues Awards” along with “Get Ready To Rock UK’s” glowing Best Artists awards in five categories.
