Cuco

From a fairly early stage, Cuco’s songs seemed to connect with audiences online, his earnest bedroom pop aesthetic and evident talent resonating for obvious reasons. Home-recorded and shared via services like Bandcamp and SoundCloud, self-released projects like 2016’s Wannabewithu and 2018’s Chiquito EP mixed relatable and catchy works in English and Spanish, endearing Cuco to other first-generation Latin Americans and young fans of indie singer-songwriters. Untethered to genre constraints, he experimented with styles and sounds, incorporating mariachi and R&B, psychedelia and rap, as well as other forms into his diverse palette as he sought fit.

Following the release of 2019’s formidable and unique Para Mi, his full-length debut since signing with Interscope, Cuco’s exponential growth and development as an artist became undeniable. With his 2022 release, Fantasy Gateway, Cuco pushed the envelope of his sound, presenting a new chapter of his career in which his growth and ability to take risks to great results are on full display.

2023 saw the release of Cuco’s most recent Hitchhiker EP, which was recorded at Big Bad Sound Studios in his hometown of Los Angeles and boasts production credits from Michael Beinhorn (Soundgarden, Hole, Red Hot Chili Peppers). Now, Cuco is set to embark on the next installment of his 4U Tour, marking his return to the United Kingdom and Europe for the first time since 2019. This series of six intimate, stripped-down performances promises to showcase Cuco’s artistry in its purest form, allowing fans to connect deeply with his music in an up-close and personal setting.
