By the mid-2000s, Neil had become one of Wales' most prominent house DJs, regularly performing at venues like Escape in Swansea, Godskitchen in Birmingham, and his residencies at En Rouge and Funkathon in Cardiff. His career began in the early 1990s, when he immersed himself in Cardiff’s underground dance scene and later shifted from club-goer to DJ in 1995. He quickly gained recognition by promoting and DJing at Cardiff's leading venues, including The Hippo Club and Emporium.
Neil's event FunkyDory won Best Pre-club three times in the Welsh Music Awards. His career took a major leap when he was ranked in the World's top 150 by DJ Magazine readers, playing at major festivals, including Escape Into The Park four years running including the Mixmag Future Heroes Tent and the Defected In The House Arena alongside the biggest names in the industry.
His event organizing and international performances solidified his status as a rising DJ in the global dance music scene. He brought in Swedish House Mafia's Axwell, 'Onephatdeeva' ATFC, former loaded magazine model turned DJ Rebekah, Greg Vickers from Sankeys and many others to his En Rouge event in Cardiff.
Alongside his DJ career, Neil founded the Offitsface website in 1999, which grew into one of the most popular online platforms for dance music, attracting millions of visitors from over 100 countries. The website, which featured DJ biographies, mixes, club listings, tune reviews gained significant recognition, with press coverage on shows like Graham Gold’s Kiss FM and The Slammin’ Boys on Galaxy 102, as well as a positive review on National TV via ITV’s The Web Review. The site reached its peak with two million page views per month and had a robust community of over 10,000 members. Neil later relaunched the site as Dancemuzik, which continued until 2010.
