There are at least two artists who use this name: 1. Omar Banos, known as Cuco, is a Mexican-American singer-songwriter and producer from Hawthorne, California, born on June 26, 1998. He began playing instruments at age eight, mastering trumpet, guitar, keyboard, drums, bass, mellophone, and French horn. In high school, he played in the marching and jazz bands. After graduating, he uploaded a slide guitar cover of Sleep Walk by Santo & Johnny on YouTube and started producing music at home, releasing it on Bandcamp and SoundCloud. In 2015, he released his first EP, Heavy Trip, under the moniker Heavy Trip before switching to Cuco, a childhood nickname given by his mother. Originally making psychedelic music as Heavy Trip, Cuco later transitioned to a dreamy, synth-heavy style, blending bedroom pop and alternative dream pop. In 2016, at age 18, he self-produced his first mixtape, Wannabewithu, after teaching himself Ableton Live. His second mixtape, Songs4u (2017), helped him gain traction, leading to sold-out shows. That same year, he released Lo Que Siento, which now has over 294 million streams on Spotify. Following its success, he dropped out of Santa Monica College to pursue music full-time. Cuco collaborated with Clairo on Drown (2018), Polyphia on So Strange, and performed at Coachella alongside Kenny G, as well as at Lollapalooza. In 2019, he worked with MC Magic and Lil Rob on Search before signing with Interscope Records. He released Hydrocodone, followed by his debut studio album, Para Mi, in July 2019. The album, influenced by personal experiences like a tour bus accident, debuted at #94 on the US charts. In 2022, Cuco released Fantasy Gateway, featuring collaborations with Kacey Musgraves, Adriel Favela, Bratty, and DannyLux. The album, crafted in Mexico City, explores themes of self-discovery and transformation. In 2023, he collaborated with The Marías on Si Me Voy. Beyond music, Cuco launched a streetwear brand, Fantasy’s Easy Living. 2. The Argentinian experimental rock band formerly known as Milica have been using this band name since 2011.
