Named the Best Breakout Artist of 2023 by Westword Magazine, N3ptune is an explosive queer multi-hyphenate hailing from Denver, CO. Heavily influenced by his upbringing in the Baptist Church, N3ptune alongside his co-producer and virtuoso guitarist Rusty Steve merge the essence of gospel, blues, and soul into an amalgamation of pop music as only their minds can create. Their songs are bold and brash, and their live performances are immersive and raw to the point where Sleigh Bells’ Alexis Krauss likened the experience to “seeing Prince live for the first time” and proceeded to invite them to tour with them on the spot.

Their quick ascent from the local DIY scene to selling out shows and performing on some of Denver's biggest stages like Red Rocks, and supporting the likes of Cordae, Rina Sawayama, Wyclef Jean, Sleigh Bells, KennyHoopla, and Aluna, has made N3ptune + Rusty Steve staples in Denver's music scene. Not only that, but their penchant for pushing fashion and performance art in visuals and live performances has allowed them to carve a lane for themselves, unlike anything that has come before.

RENAISSANCE, their debut album arrived on December 10, 2021, to critical acclaim. N3ptune + Rusty Steve supported the album by touring the East Coast alongside Sleigh Bells in August 2022. After major performances at festivals like Electric Forest and Capitol Hill Block party in 2023, N3ptune + Rusty Steve will be releasing their long-awaited follow-up to RENAISSANCE in 2024.
