Raised on the tough streets of Compton, California, Neil fell in love with music as a child, developing a broad vocabulary that ranged from classic Motown to Hard Rock. As a teenager, he began performing with local bands and soon discovered a passion for the stage and a natural talent as a singer and performer. Neil fronted the popular band Rock Candy before reuniting with high school buddy Tommy Lee in 1981, establishing his spot in Rock history with the formation of Mötley Crüe.
Mötley Crüe’s epic run included countless platinum releases, more than 22 hit singles 100 million albums sold, and dozens of global tours with sold out arenas, inclusive of some of the largest venues in the world.

Among hundreds of accolades, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him in 2014 as a Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss.
