3OH!3

3OH!3, an electronic music duo from Boulder, Colorado, has been making waves in the music industry since forming in 2004. Comprised of Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte, the duo blends electropop, synth-pop, pop rap, trap, and rock influences to create a high-energy sound that appeals to a wide range of audiences. Their name is derived from Colorado’s 303 area code, reflecting the duo’s strong ties to their hometown.

The group first gained national attention with their hit single “Don’t Trust Me” from the album Want (2008), which reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100. Their remix of “Starstrukk” featuring Katy Perry and their collaboration with Kesha on “My First Kiss” further cemented their place in pop music. Following this early success, 3OH!3 released Streets of Gold (2010), Omens (2013), Night Sports (2016) and Need (2021), demonstrating consistent musical output and evolution in style.

3OH!3’s live performances have been a cornerstone of their career. They have toured with bands such as All Time Low, Boys Like Girls, Third Eye Blind, Simple Plan, and Bowling for Soup. Their television appearances include the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009 and a performance on American Idol with Kesha in 2016. The duo has continued to engage fans through festival appearances, including the When We Were Young Festival, and through special events like the annual 303 Day show at the Boulder Theater.

In addition to their albums and live performances, Sean Foreman has contributed as a songwriter and producer for other artists, expanding the duo’s influence beyond their own recordings. Their music, a fusion of electronic, pop, and rock elements, combined with their engaging performances, has allowed 3OH!3 to maintain a loyal fanbase for over two decades. In recognition of their impact on the Denver music scene, they were named among the Best of Denver® in 2016.

Through their consistent output, collaborations, and electrifying live shows, 3OH!3 continues to demonstrate their relevance and creativity in the ever-evolving landscape of modern music.
