Higher Purpose
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, spirituality, growing as a person, and moving forward through hard moments. The pivotal moment in his career was in 2021, when he moved to Denver, CO. Denver not only exposed him to a flourishing and diverse electronic music community, but also gave him a new frontier to grow into the person he is today. Throughout his career he has supported many high-profile electronic artists including Kaivon, Laszewo, Kasbo, Pluko, ALLEYCVT, Lizzy Jane, and will be playing the main stage at the upcoming GoldRush Music Festival in Phoenix, AZ. 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.
