Viren Neel is a genre-defying singer, songwriter, and composer from Trinidad and Tobago, known for his philosophical lyricism, retro aesthetic, and sound that moves fluidly between soul, folk, pop, alt-rock, and Caribbean fusion. Since the release of his debut single Change in 2020—which rose to No. 5 on Apple Music Trinidad within its first week—Viren has quietly built a reputation as one of the most critically respected emerging artists in the Caribbean.
A true old soul, Viren draws from the richness of the ‘60s and ‘70s—not just in sound, but in spirit. His music is introspective and timeless, marked by raw emotion and existential depth, earning him admiration from both fans and musical peers. Revered by some of the biggest artists in his country, and praised internationally by names like Rvssian and Shenseea—who once called him the “Trini Elvis”—Viren has become known as a songwriter’s songwriter and an artist of substance.
Now signed to Ineffable Records, Viren is working on his first genre-fusion EP, a bold blend of calypso, ska, reggae, and soul that reflects his Caribbean roots while pushing the boundaries of what island music can sound like. With 14 releases under his belt and a steady, organic following across borders, Viren continues to craft a catalog that doesn’t chase trends, but carves out a legacy—quietly, intentionally, and with soul.
