Sycco
When: Sunday
The ascent of Sycco, aka 19 year old First Nations artist/writer/producer Sash McLeod, only started in 2020 (mid-pandemic) but her pop-driven, psych-infused, dance-inducing brand of electronica has already won her fans near and far. Following the release of a string of successful singles including “Dribble”, ‘Germs’ and ‘My Ways’, she released a concisely-titled debut EP “Sycco’s First EP” (out now via Future Classic). Sycco’s most recent release is “Weakness” a collab with Alice Ivy that is currently dominating the airwaves.
Sycco’s trippy bops have seen her land in the pages of Vogue (Australia), NME, Billboard, Paper, Cool Hunting, Nylon, Paste, Ones To Watch, triple j, among others and amassed +20 million streams (and counting). She’s sold out her debut national headline tour, landed #29 in the Hottest 100, won big at the Queensland Music Awards and picked up nominations at the AIR and NIMA Awards and performed for KCRW and triple j’s Like a Version.
Sycco was recently announced as YouTube’s Music Foundry Class of 2021, scored a Times Square billboard as the face of Spotify’s Equal Campaign, named as Apple Music AU’s Up Next Artist for August and won Australia’s prestigious Levi’s Music Prize — and she’s only just getting started.
