  • Denver-based artists N3ptune and Rusty Steve turned the Bluebird Theater into their very own temple of worship, making a believer out of everyone in attendance.

    – Thomas Rutherford, 303 Magazine (April 3, 2023)

  • “Throw the music of Prince, Nina Simone, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga in a pot, and N3ptune is the one stirring it. His innovative sound intricately weaves hip-hop, soul, pop, rock, R&B and club music, and he meticulously layers these influences to evoke both the experiences and emotions contained in his lyrics, whether they’re pummeled out in aggressive, poetic rap bars or soaring from a soulful, anthemic solo. N3ptune throws every piece of himself into his performance, and the audience has no choice but to absorb his enigmatic energy.”

  • "I’m not entirely sure how to describe his music, except frenetically eclectic – which seems to suit N3PTUNE, the person, as well. His show at Hi-Dive was part concert, part fashion show, part confessional, part jubilation."
