Neill Chambers has been a musician all his life. In 1980, he was a student at the University of Cincinnati Conservatory of Music studying the big boys - Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven - when he was given tickets to see Ella Fitzgerald live in concert. Immediately he started playing jazz. Neill also studied and completed graduate level master classes with musician and composer Phil Rizzo, former arranger for Stan Kenton.

At the suggestion of his mentor, Neill began composing and arranging for some of the area's musical theatre productions. He was Musical Director and Composer-in-Residence at the Beck Center Theatre for the Performing Arts in Cleveland, Ohio, arranging and composing original music for many stage productions.

Today, Neill lives in Los Angeles where he writes, directs, arranges and performs. He has recorded two albums and performs regularly, equally at home with classical and chamber music, as well as jazz, reggae, rock and blues.
