About
Growing up in Hawthorne, CA, a locale known for producing more than its share of musical notables, it was perhaps destined that Cuco would come to represent for his city, emerging as one of the most visionary artists of his generation. His cognizance of that hallowed tradition, one inclusive of hardcore punk and Mexican acts he admires as well as some bigger stars, helped set the artist born as Omar Banos on a creative path, with the nurturing support of immigrant parents. "They've always pushed me to do music," he says. With the release of 2019's Para Mí, his full-length debut with Interscope, Cuco's exponential growth and development as an artist became undeniable. A tireless creator, with new material dropping throughout 2021, he proves himself as a youthful maestro of indie, seemingly leveling up with each release.
