Of the new signing, Revelry's AJ Burton comments, "Neil’s talents as a multi-instrumentalist who creates tracks and lyrics for various genres is a great addition to the Nettwerk/Revelry team.

Nettwerk's Mark Jowett adds, “We are excited to have signed Neil Mason, who can rock as hard as anyone and then turn on a dime and write gorgeous, sultry songs worthy of Bacharach. We believe his multi-dimensionality will result in a treasure chest of great songs to come.”
