Early Life
Opiuo was born and raised in New Zealand and first became interested in creating music in his teens. At the time, he mainly was influenced by Drum & Bass and Trance music. As he experimented with music more and more, he eventually created his own unique sound.
Music
Opiuo borrowed money from his parents to solely focus on making music for a year.
Later after finding success and playing a plethora of shows, he saved up enough money to pay them back.
Although Opiuo has been characterized as Glitch hop, he considers his sound “funkadelic bass music.” [1]
In the mid-2010s, Opiuo gathered his friends together to for The Opiuo Band.
Together, the project released two albums and toured extensively around the world.
