Career

Perspective

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]

Sycco's debut single "Starboard Square" was released in August 2018, as part of her first album "Sycco 1/2".[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]

Sycco has performed at St Jerome's Laneway Festival,[1] and Darwin Festival 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, McLeod 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, McLeod said the track was "really fun" to make and "came together super quickly". McLeod 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]

In August 2025, Sycco released two EPs and announced an Australian tour commencing in September through to November 2025.[11]
