The story of Nep begins in Daytona, Florida, a place of endless motorcycle rallies, stickysummers, and the kind of small-town culture she always knew she’d leave behind. It’s that pushand pull that fuels her debut album, Noelle – an album that feels both diaristic and cinematic:raw experience refracted through sharp, infectious indie-pop.Nep has been building an audience for years, long before any records were even finished. Shortclips and demos posted to TikTok racked up over 5 million likes, drawing fans to her mix ofsardonic humor, brutal honesty, and a quirky charm that makes even her darkest songs feeloddly uplifting. She quickly translated that online energy to the stage, selling out early headlineshows in Los Angeles, New York City, and Chicago, and touring alongside Ricky Montgomery,mxmtoon, and Grent Perez. With the release of Noelle, Nep is not just putting out an album;she’s leaving Florida behind. After years of translating Daytona’s beaches, bike rallies, andheartbreak into song, she’s moving to Los Angeles, a new chapter, a new landscape.Noelle is both an origin story and an emancipation. It documents the mess of youth and thecatharsis of finally walking away. In Nep’s world, scars become anthems, heartbreak becomespunchlines, and growing up in Daytona becomes the stuff of unforgettable songs.
