Cuco

1. Omar Banos, born on June 26, 1998, also known as Cuco, is a Mexican-American singer-songwriter and record producer originating from Hawthorne, California. Cuco's initial musical endeavors commenced at the age of eight, when he practiced trumpet, guitar, keyboard, drums, bass guitar, mellophone, and French horn. In high school, he played in the marching band as well as the jazz band. After graduating, Banos uploaded a slide guitar cover of Sleep Walk by Santo & Johnny to YouTube. He began producing and releasing songs from his parents' home and releasing them onto Bandcamp and SoundCloud. In January 2015, Banos released his first EP on Bandcamp, titled Heavy Trip. In the same year, Banos had released his first song, "Yeah" on SoundCloud under the moniker of Heavy Trip. He then switched to Cuco, which was a nickname given to him by his mother as a child. Transitioning from his psychedelic music phase as Heavy Trip between 2014 and 2015, he embarked on a creative shift, leaning into more pop-influenced compositions. His music is often classified under the genres of bedroom pop and alternative dream pop, characterized by synths, 808s, and washed-out analog sounds. By the age of 18, Banos had self-produced his first mixtape "Wannabewithu" in 2016, after teaching himself how to use Ableton Live. Cuco released his second mixtape, "Songs4u" in 2017 when he started playing at clubs in Southern California, selling out his first two venues. Cuco released his first single "Lo Que Siento" in 2017, which has reached over 294 million streams on Spotify alone. Following the success of "Lo Que Siento," Cuco dropped out after a year of attending Santa Monica City College to pursue a career in music. Cuco collaborated with American singer Clairo for the single "Drown", which was released in August 2018. He then collaborated with Polyphia on a track called "So Strange" off their album New Levels New Devils, which was released in October 2018. Cuco played alongside saxophonist Kenny G at Coachella in April 2018, as well as at Lollapalooza in October 2018. In February 2019, he collaborated with his childhood Chicano rap idols MC Magic and Lil Rob on a track called "Search". After a bidding war that lasted two years, Banos signed under Interscope Records in March 2019. On April 2, 2019, Cuco released "Hydrocodone," the lead single for Para Mi, before releasing "Bossa No Sé" with Jean Carter on May 22, 2019. Cuco later released his debut studio album, Para Mi, on July 26. The album touches on recent problems that Cuco has experienced first-hand, including a tour bus accident that sent him and his band to hospital. The album debuted at 94 on the US Charts. On April 29, 2022, Cuco released "Caution" as the lead single from his sophomore studio album, Fantasy Gateway. On July 22, 2022, Fantasy Gateway was released via Interscope Records. The 12-track LP includes appearances from Kacey Musgraves, Adriel Favela, Bratty, and DannyLux. In 2023, he collaborated with The Marías on the song "Si Me Voy" released as a single. Delving into themes of self-discovery and personal transformation, the album was crafted in Mexico City, embracing a diverse range of sounds and collaborators. Outside of his musical endeavors, Cuco also launched a streetwear clothing line known as Fantasy's Easy Living. 2. Cuco is an experimental rock trio from La Plata, Argentina. Read more on Last.fm.
