Makeda Zucco
Composer
About
Makeda is a multidisciplinary artist living in Eora (so called Sydney, Australia). Her work is focused primarily in the sonic space - creating her own lucid texture driven music, composing for dance and film, djing and most recently, songwriting.
Her sound is one which is ever-evolving and refuses to be pinned down - taking ideological and aesthetic cues from a broad spectrum of post-punk, experimental, pop and electronic music influences. She has earned performance slots alongside HTRK, Klein, Peggy Gou, Aisha Devi, 33EMYBW, Ross from Friends; also accruing an enviable CV of local and international festival slots.

Makeda has presented commissions at Dark Mofo, Red Bull Music, Soft Centre, Rising, Vivid Live; and institutions including Art Gallery of NSW, ACMI and MONA. Her music for Amber McCartney’s dance work ‘Baby Girl’ was praised by MONA FOMA's Artistic Director Brian Richie as a highlight of the 2023 festival.
