Originating from Tempe, AZ, Neal Ortiz (Nealson) created a thought-provoking electronic project with a mission to share his story, be a positive influence within the community, and inspire others to search for their higher purpose. With his nostalgic blend of indie pop and new school future bass, Nealson pulls at your heartstrings by writing songs about love, growing as a person, and moving forward through hard moments. Throughout his career he has supported many high-profile electronic artists including Kaivon, Laszewo, Kasbo, Pluko, ALLEYCVT, Lizzy Jane, and recently played Decadence Music Festival. His unmatched energy on stage, connection with the crowd, and blend of genres throughout his performance prove that he is an act anyone can enjoy. “The things I really try and touch on are pain, growth, and change. Oftentimes, we are hit in the face with that sinking feeling of ‘life is moving on but you are not.’ But what comes next? You have to get deeply introspective and realize you need to change in order for the things to change around you.” - Nealson
