BIO
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 merges the essence of gospel, blues, and soul into an amalgamation of pop music as only his mind can create. His songs are bold and brash, and his 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 him to tour with them on the spot.
His quick ascent from the local DIY scene to selling out shows and performing on some of Denver's biggest stages like Red Rocks, Ball Arena Halftime Show for the Nuggets, and supporting the likes of Cordae, Qveen Herby, Matt & Kim, Rina Sawayama, Wyclef Jean, Sleigh Bells, KennyHoopla, Aluna and others, has made N3PTUNE a staple in Denver's music scene. Not only that, but his penchant for pushing fashion and performance art in visuals and live performances has allowed him to carve a lane for himself unlike anything that has come before. RENAISSANCE, his first mixtape arrived on December 10, 2021, to critical acclaim. The project produced major singles in “Black Horse” and “White Pony” both of which received significant syndicated radio play, and the latter getting prominent co-signs on Spotify’s Nu-Blue playlist and others.
N3PTUNE supported the mixtape by touring the East Coast alongside Sleigh Bells in August 2022. After major performances at festivals like Electric Forest, Treeffort, San Francisco Pride and Capitol Hill Block Party in these past few years, N3PTUNE will unleash his next chapter in 2025.
