Very important! There is still no way on myspace to send a message to everyone at once, so if you want me to let you know about upcoming shows and other important info, please join the mailing list. I promise I will not sell your address to anyone (unless I need a new kidney...)
Hey everybody, my name is Lionel Neykov. I’m an indie musician based in NYC, trying to spread the word about my music here on myspace.
I picked up a guitar about 7 years ago and I haven't put it down ever since. Pretty soon I was writing songs and starting to record them myself.
These past 18 months I've been working on my first album "Songs of Want and Loss" and now I'm releasing it myself, using the internet to try and promote it.
The songs are available on itunes all over the world and you can also order a CD online from CD Baby, they deliver everywhere. (see the links on the left side of this page)
Please, check out a few songs, there's a couple of videos too, and let me know what you think!.
And for those who are keeping tabs, "Freeze My Senses" has now over 450,000 hits on youtube, and counting! Sometimes I have to pinch myself... Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-iHtNtZjP8
Me, a guitar and a webcam, good times...:

I was born in August during a heat wave. As a result, I developed a rash on my face, which was unfortunate, since a lot of pictures were taken that day.
I swallowed a bee once, it bit my tongue which started to swell alarmingly. I had to go to the emergency room. I couldn’t talk for three days after that…
When I was twelve I accidentally touched a girl’s breast. She blushed, I blushed. We never spoke to each other again.
I bought my first guitar at the tender age of 21. I used to sleep with it too, until someone pointed out that was awkward.
Praise for ‘Songs of Want and Loss’:
“Of course I knew it would be excellent. He was a very musical baby, you know, made the loveliest babbling sounds…” Catherine Neykov
“Who gave you this number? This is my home phone, OK? Stop calling me here, or I’ll have you arrested!” Anthony DeCurtis – Rolling Stone magazine
“Man, that shit is heavy!” Glen Collins – UPS
Seriously though, if you like what you hear, please talk about it around you. Word of mouth is so important…
Thank you so much for this add. I happened upon your music purely by chance. You can actually thank the itunes genius, otherwise I'd still be silent to your stuff. Any ways, I absolutely LOVE your music. It's so pure, refreshing, and...sexy even.
=D how are you doing?? =) hope you're fine, with plenty to do and millions in fans around =P I'm starting now making my own songs...and it seems that once you find the faith in yourself is when everything comes easily and even without noticing! I may give a concert within a month or two! =) would you mind if I made a cover of "freeze my senses"? Hope you like my songs...=P they're on my myspace videos! =D oh! by the way, do you know if your album is already available in Spain?? I'd like to have it...lots of hugs and kisses!
Amazing. I hadn't been on Myspace in such a long time, I went back sorting through artists (to delete ones I didn't want in my friends list =p ) and this music is even better than I remember it. Hope all is well ! -Liz
Hi Lionel?? how are you doing? It's been long since I last wrote you..how's everything going? i hope you're fine =) I'm quite happy now 'cause it seems (though I'm learning to play guitar very slowly) that inspiration's comming!!! I've recorded (not properly really) my first song (a friend of mine helped me)...I wish you like it. =) Take care.

Hey Lionel, thanks for the add. I've been a big fan of your music since I heard it on youtube and then when I bought your album. You've got one of the best and most unique voices I've heard in a while. You've also got a great sense of humour. All the best with your music, I look forward to hearing future work. Thanks again, Andy.
I recently listened to my Lionel Neykov music again and realized... it had been way too long. I don't know how I let that happen. Love your music just as much as (if not more than) ever. You make me smile, Lionel, you really do. =)
