Ian North

American musician and producer (March 24, 1952 – February 28, 2021).
Originally the songwriter/guitarist with "[a1553418]" in New York, Ian moved to London to become a solo artist. That fell through and he decided to start a punk band - Ian North's Radio in April 1977 - which soon became "Neo". The group continued until 1979, when Ian North released a solo album called "Neo" and continued as a solo artist.

In the early 1980s, North returned to New York City and established I.N.S. Studios (I.N.S. Recording, Inc.), which he owned with his wife, Deborah Pell North, until their divorce in 1993.
