Neela’s latest release “You’ll Never Know” is a powerful anthem of empowerment and expression. In this single, she captures the raw emotions of anger and frustration caused by injustice, but also explores the other side of the pain, including resentment, strength, and acceptance.
As a rising Indo-Canadian artist, Neela draws on her North Indian roots, jazz upbringing, and diverse musical studies to create a unique and soulful sound. Her wide range and smooth vocal quality allow her to experiment with various genres, from R&B and soul to pop, folk, and EDM.

Her authentic and vulnerable approach to songwriting has caught the attention of industry insiders, including Grammy-award winning producers like Slakah the Beatchild, Chin Injeti, and Akeel Henry.
Beyond her musical talents, Neela’s background in theater and dance brings an electrifying energy to her live performances. The stage is where she feels most at home, and she uses it as a platform to share her truth and vulnerability, once qualities that made her feel like an outsider.
In “You’ll Never Know,” Neela’s collaboration with Alvin Brendan, Akeel Henry, and Kevin Ekofo brings to light the complexity of emotions that arise from injustice. Her smooth and sultry voice guides listeners through the pain, the anger, and the hope for a better tomorrow.
