Best known for his portrayal of James T. Kirk in the “Star Trek” franchise, actor William Shatner: “Careers are here and they’re gone. No matter how great we think we are, we’re nothing but the
temples of Ozymandias—we’re ruins in the making.” Let me add to please enjoy the moment. Appreciate where you are in the journey. Life is too short. The journey will be over before you know it.

  • Who is Neon Union?

    Comprised of newcomers Leo Brooks and Andrew Millsaps, Neon Union is a duo preparing to take country music by storm.

    Brooks grew up in Miami and has collaborated with artists like Pitbull, Lauryn Hill, Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige, Cee Lo Green and John Legend. Millsaps grew up in North Carolina and has been writing songs ever since the age of 13.

    When the two were introduced, they knew instantly that their sound and musical styles would join together to create the perfect duo. Together as Neon Union, Brooks and Millsaps are bringing a new sound to country music, with 808 kick drums married to a traditional country lyric and anthemic pop melodies.

    Since signing with Jay DeMarcus’ Red Street Records in 2022, Neon Union has been named Billboard’s Rookie of the Month, earned performance slots with the ACMs and CMA Fest and have opened for musical acts like Scotty McCreery and Pitbull. The duo is set to release their debut EP Double Wide Castle Sessions following their debut charted single, “Bout Damn Time.”
