Deb Nevers intimate, cinematic, genre-spanning sound hits notes of alt rock, electronic, and melodic Rs grunge history, Deb Never taught herself to play music by way of a poster of guitar tabs that hung on her bedroom wallEvery day, Id look at these tabs and learn chords by sound, she recalls. A testament to her tenacious inventive spirit, learning guitar was tied inextricably to her desire to create. I learned to play guitar because I wanted to write music, she says.Over the past five years, Deb, now based in Los Angeles, has become a steadfast rising star of the alt pop sphere, marked by her unique blend of lyrical vulnerability and sonic experimentation. Shortly after releasing her breakout EP House on Wheels she began collaborating with acclaimed, fellow genre-bending artists such as BROCKHAMPTON, Dominic Fike, and slowthai. Her latest EP, heartrending, vocoder-infused THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING (2023) sets the stage for the next phase of her career, which opened with a series of stripped-back, refined and quintessentially Deb songs: Not in Love, This Alive and KNOW ME BETTER.Debs debut album ARCADE was just released May 8th via Giant Music.
