Kuzco [kuuz-co], is an Australian / Maori vocalist, keyboardist & producer living and creating in Naarm (Melbourne), after growing up in the sunshine state of Meanjin (Brisbane). A heavyweight session keyboardist, Kuzco is a deeply revered figure on the Naarm and Meanjin scene, and is now ready to bring her own creations to the world. Slowly forging her own sound, Kuzco's musical background spans countless genres and songs, embodying and reflecting on her musical heritage. In her own words "the intention is to write music that activates the sensuality of feeling music in the body, and reigniting the self with fluid movement". Kuzco's first track ‘Immunity’ was released on the Allysha Joy curated ‘They’re Energised’ compilation LP on CoOp Presents in 2022 and her debut EP 'I Vibe, She Vibes' was released on CoOp Presents in 2023. Her formula to getting music done in the studio is "dropping into the body and pinpointing where exactly I want to feel the music". Of course there is an emotional element, but for Kuzco, it's a sensual and physical exploration, which of course led to many studio sessions where the only work actually achieved was dancing.
