Neal Fox is an award-winning composer and filmmaker with an extensive history in the music business. Signed as an artist to Polydor, RCA and Columbia Records, he had two charted singles and a Top Ten Dance Club Hit. Billboard called him, “a rueful Randy Newman eccentric…equally at home in blues, rock, pop and jazz motifs,” and Music Connection said he has “the ability to conjure virtually any style of recording in the pop music realm.” A former partner in Patterson, Walz & Fox Music Productions, Fox wrote and produced music for hundreds of commercials. He has also written for film, i.e., the Killer Tomato movies, and TV (from CBS to VH-1), receiving Clio, Addy and Telly awards for his work. In the early 90s, he co-created a series of multi-cultural children’s books with his wife, Naomi. She wrote the stories; he illustrated the books and composed the scores, and actor Robert Guillaume did the narration. Marketed under the Confetti Company name, the books inspired HBO’s Happy Ever After: Fairy Tales for Every Child. Since 1994 Fox has self-released several CDs on his label, Wire Duck Records. Among them is the highly praised, Now It’s Personal, which aired on AAA radio. In 2004, he performed his one-man multimedia show, Pigeonholes, at the world-famous Stella Adler Theatre in Hollywood. He got standing ovations and raves from the audience. Pigeonholes covered subjects such as war, human rights and antidepressants. It even took a stab at the record labels with their niche mentality which put artists’ creations second to the bottom-line. In fact, one reviewer said “Pigeonholes” was the best song ever written about the music business. Over the past few years Fox has won awards for his music videos and short films, which have screened in a number of festivals. Most of them can be seen on his YouTube channel http://www.YouTube.com/Nealf . His latest project is a children's poetry book that he also illustrated titled, "It's Weird to Grow a Beard."
