    Sasha McLeod (born 26 August 2001), known professionally as Sycco (SIGH-co[3]), is an Aboriginal Australian singer-songwriter and producer from Brisbane. She was nominated for Triple J Unearthed Artist of the Year in 2020, having released the pop singles "Nicotine" and "Dribble" in the same year.

    Early life[edit]

    McLeod grew up in Brisbane, Queensland.[4] She confirmed during a performance in Melbourne, she has a Virgo Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Capricorn Rising. Has also developed an interest in bakeries.

    Career[edit]

    McLeod's father taught her to play the guitar at seven years old. She began making music from an early age, having created an album at the age of 15,[4] and adopted the artist name Sycco as a reference to psychedelia.[5]

    McLeod's debut single "Starboard Square" was released in August 2018.[5] She also released "Tamed Grief" and "Peacemaker" in 2019.[3] In 2020, Sycco released the singles "Nicotine" and "Dribble", leading her to be nominated for Triple J Unearthed Artist of the Year at the J Awards of 2020.[6]

    McLeod has performed at St Jerome's Laneway Festival,[1] and supported Vera Blue, Spacey Jane and Glass Animals on tour.[4] She also covered Tame Impala and Pnau for Like a Version.[7]

    In March 2022, Sycco released "Superstar". Of the song, Sycco said “I’m really proud of this song... the lyrics are satirical obviously – I used to work at a grocery store and it was fun to imagine a glowed-up future me having a tantrum in there."[8]

    In September 2022, Sycco released "Ripple". In a press release, Sycco said the track was "really fun" to make and "came together super quickly". Sycco said Flume and Chrome Sparks "did such a great job on the prod[uction]", developing what she describes as "a beautiful environment of synths and drums that evoke such a nice feeling of ease but also discomfort at points".[9]

    In July 2024, Sycco announced the forthcoming release of their debut album, Zorb.[10]
