Neil Sutton is a long term associate member of the veteran British synthpop group The Human League. He is best known as the on stage and studio keyboard player, but also has written various lyrics and composed instrumental tracks for the band and has numerous Human League album credits.
His association with the Human League started in 1986, where he was employed as a session musician for the Crash Tour of late 1986. He was then invited to work with the band further and joined the studio and stage team in 1990. He has worked continuously with the band ever since. Prevented from being described as an actual member of the Human League because of the band's legacy legal issues, he is a Human League member in all but name.
In conjunction with band principal Philip Oakey, Sutton has composed a number of the Human League's lyrics and instrumental scores on the Romantic? (1990), Octopus (1995) and Secrets (2001) albums.
