She has made it a point to write about important issues and deep struggles with in herself and society. Influenced by such artists as Carole King, Amel Larrieux and Sarah Vaughan, McNeil has created a unique style that is raw and original. She blends Jazz, R&B and other genres making a bouquet of all she has experienced."I don't back away from a painful moment or a new idea," said McNeil. "I try to be honest with myself and let that come through in my work."
