Neilson, a San Diego based singer-songwriter, content creator, and music industry professional

Neilson blends music with technical prowess. His journey, from his University of New Haven music studies to his USS Boxer deployments, echoes the beatnik spirit. Tunes birthed from Boston's streets to Chicago's neon lights. "The Hemingway EP" (2017) and "Medicine Man" (2023) illustrate his stories.

Smokey venues from Tin Roof to Sycamore Den have felt his musical presence. He’s also performed at the USO in Dubai during his tenure in the US Navy.

Today, he crafts sound at Moonshine Flats, Moonshine Beach, and aids sonic pilgrimages with Sofar Sounds and Writer's Round San Diego. Through DharmaDen, his YouTube sanctuary, he immortalizes San Diego's musical travelers. He aspires to, one day, own a community-based cannabis cafe that will bring together creatives, veterans, and cannabist-enthusiasts under one roof.
