Neil Panton

Singer, Songwriter, Composer

I’ve dedicated my life to appreciating, understanding, and exploring music. I’m captivated by how music is constructed and the stories that music can tell. This passion has driven me to write and record original compositions for over five decades.

The Studio

Home-based project studio
on the coast

I’ve always loved recording. Though I have an extensive background performing with rock, blues and funk bands, as well as symphony and chamber orchestras, I always return to my studio to work on original music. My numerous compositions are a testament to a life spent in love with music and sound.

Ronald
Alexander Panton

My father, Ron Panton, was a musician and prolific arranger and composer. He wrote mostly for wind ensembles but also wrote a handful of orchestral pieces. I’ve dedicated a page to his many compositions and arrangements for wind, string, and piano ensembles. You can also read a history of his long and interesting life as a California native.
