Neobrite is a Detroit, Michigan indie rock electronic project formed in 2010 by James Kay.
James was influenced early on by 90's video game music and 80's pop. Later on, Neobrite took on more of a rock sound with influence from alternative/indie rock bands like Angels & Airwaves, The Naked and Famous, Bloc Party, and, MGMT. In 2023, James began to be inspired more by 1960s music, especially artists like Brian Wilson and The Drifters. The amalgamation of influences is what makes Neobrite such a unique musical experience.
Neobrite experienced a hiatus from 2012 to 2019 due to mostly being busy with work, and starting a family, with the occasional release on Soundcloud during that time. The project is in full swing again with a new self-titled album of 8 tracks released on August 25th, 2023.
James plays and records all of the instruments for each track in his home studio as part of his songwriting process. James has 11 years of full time audio engineering/production experience working mostly at live venues in metro-Detroit and continues to mix now mostly for his own music.
