SOPHIE EDWARDS

Her songs have a nostalgic quality to them, but they also have a modern, cutting edge. Whether Sophie is writing about themes of love, heartbreak, or self-discovery, her songs are open and sensitive, making it possible for listeners to identify with her.

Arriving in Australia at the age of 10 from France, the 26 year old Canberra rapper has grown into Australian hip-hop, picking up a passion for rapping, beat-making and releasing freestyles with old school hip-hop vibes. Influenced by 90’s legends such as Nas, Rakim and The Notorious B.I.G., as well as game changing Producers such as Dr. Dre and Kanye West , the young rapper/producer continues to master his craft over a raw old school boom-bap sound while perfecting his production skills. Throughout the years, MN Cappo has shared the stage with acts such as Tony Rich, Terror Reid, Lisi, Kobie Dee, Timomatic, Chillinit, The Ansah Brothers (Citizen Kay & Genesis Owusu), Tasman Keith, Mitchos Da Menace and much more, including performing 4 shows at the Sydney Opera House in 2022. MN Cappo is all about putting on a good performance while having a good time on the mic.

ZUKO

ZUKO like to re-imagine pop music and provide the soundtrack to a dance party for the jaded.

Genres don't matter. Drunk, anthemic choruses are a must.

Roshan takes care of the vocals and production duties while Jackson provides the sticky guitar hooks and much needed moral support.

Exploring select elements of pop-so-far, ZUKO. are constantly evolving their sound and are just starting to hit their stride
