When SYCCO sings about being a superstar, it‘s a declaration you can’t argue with. Flying high and signing autographs is sure to be familiar territory for 23- year-old First Nations songwriter and producer Sasha McLeod. In just a few years, she’s gone from emerging to established, thanks to her pop-driven, psych-infused brand of electronica that’s won over fans and dancefloors all over the country.
In 2021 Sycco was 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. 2024 saw the release of her debut album, Zorb. Sycco wrote and co-produced every track, working alongside music powerhouses like Chrome Sparks, Flume, Mallrat, Banoffee, and Styalz Fuego. The album received glowing reviews, a triple j Feature Album and multiple DSP covers.
Sycco’s trippy bops have seen her land on 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 sold out her debut national headline tour, landed #29 (‘Dribble’) and #46 (‘Ripple’) in the triple j Hottest 100, and made history at Queensland Music Awards by being the only artist to be featured twice on the prestigious Walk Of Fame, picked up nominations at the AIR and NIMA Awards and performed for KCRW and triple j’s Like a Version.
