On joining Falling Like Stars:
Working with Judy on the music for Falling Like Stars has been so exciting! It’s been such a lovely experience being able to watch this project grow, and I’ve been so honored to sing songs that are beautifully and thoughtfully composed. As a singer and songwriter myself, I appreciate the story of the film so very much, and I easily relate to the songs, which has made my involvement in this project so rewarding. I can’t wait to watch this film continue to come to life!

HALLEY NEAL
Singer - Demos and Film

Halley Neal is a folk-pop singer and songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2019, Halley was chosen from the graduates to perform a song at Berklee’s Commencement Concert at Agganis Arena. The concert honored the 2019 Berklee honorary doctorates Missy Elliot, Justin Timberlake, and Alex Lacamoire, who all attended the show. Shortly after graduating, within her first few months of moving to Nashville Halley was chosen as a finalist for “Nashville Rising Song,” a premiere songwriting competition. In Music City, Halley also hosts house concerts in her backyard bringing together a community of independent musicians.

In 2020, Halley became an official Guild Guitars artist and performed a set of original music at the 2021 NAMM Show with Guild. She will also be the first artist to participate in Guild’s “Factory Sessions” YouTube series, performing an original set of songs live in the Guild Guitars factory in Oxnard, California.

With her former band, Rose & Kennedy, Halley released the acoustic version of their song “Lover,” which has garnered over 27 million combined streams on YouTube and other online outlets.

Halley's self-titled debut album will be released in June 2021. Inspired by songwriters from the 60's and 70's, Halley's music reflects the sounds of her training as a vocal student at Berklee as well as the influences of the Nashville singer-songwriter scene. Halley’s sound blends soothing layered vocals with Americana and pop production and is deeply rooted in an idea of reminiscence in a throwback to classic rock, all with consistent, modern folk-pop writing.
