With a very interesting 35+ year singing career that includes being a background singer for 80’s British pop artist, Rick Astley and a co-writer with the artist, Yanni, Pamela McNeill has just released a new music video for her latest single, “The Ocean”. Pamela McNeill knew from an early age that music would be her life. She joined her first rock band at 16 and learned quickly how to connect with her audience. A native of Winona, Minnesota, Pamela resides in Minneapolis. Her career has taken her all over the world including four years in the UK as a backing singer for Rick Astley, performing with him at Royal Albert Hall and The London Palladium for the Royal Family and appearing on many television shows such as BBC’s “Top of the Pops”. As a prolific songwriter, she wrote her first song at 15 and has written for and with a wide range of other artists including Wynonna Judd, Jim Peterik and Yanni, and has co-written tracks with fellow songwriters such as Pam Tillis and Bobby E. Boyd. Pamela began releasing albums in 1999 and to date has released seven studio albums. She has headlined theaters and festivals across the country in support of her music and has opened for artists including Etta James, Little River Band, Atlanta Rhythm Section and BTO, to name a few. Pamela is excited to release "Wave After Wave," her eighth original studio recording on Farm to Label Record, July 26th (color vinyl) and August 2nd (digital). In 2024, she was honored by being inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame.
