NEVI Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Singer-songwriter Nevi (Daniel Balderas) is a 20-year-old artist from Royse City, Texas, carving out a sound that’s both deeply personal and genre-bending. Raised in a working-class Mexican American family, he started making music at 12, was discovered by an indie label at 15, and broke through at 17 with One Day, a neo-soul/hip-hop track that remains his most recognized release. After years of creating in the soul and hip-hop space, Nevi found a new direction in country and western music, blending his Mexican heritage with folk, jazz, and alternative country influences. His single The Boy Who Left captures this evolution, telling the story of leaving his hometown for Los Angeles and reflecting the weight of being “the one who made it out.” That story became real when, at 18, a lost wallet turned a weekend trip to LA into a permanent move, supported by friends who offered him a place to stay. Now based in Los Angeles, Nevi is building toward his debut full-length album, led by the follow-up single We Ain’t All That Different. With influences spanning Wilco, Jason Isbell, Joan Sebastian, Waylon Jennings, and Bob Dylan, Nevi’s music bridges cultures and traditions while staying rooted in resilience, identity, and storytelling. From small-town Texas to a new life in LA, he is emerging as one of the most exciting young voices redefining modern folk and country.
