For New Zealand native Opiuo, making music has been an undeniable passion that encapsulates his every moment. His incredibly original, against the grain style is often referred to simply as - funkadelic bass music, a term he supports wholeheartedly. The producer who now calls Australia home first gained international recognition in 2010 with his single
- Robo Booty - from his debut album Slurp and Giggle, which was a finalist for Best Dance/Electro Release at the Australian Independent Music Awards that year. His music has since reached the #1 position on the iTunes, Hype Machine, Beatport & Addictech charts. Racking up 6 million plays on his Soundcloud page, Opiuo swept up the 2013 UK Glitch-Hop Awards with 5 wins & his latest full length album - Meraki - won the Best Electronica Album at the New Zealand Music Awards 2014. Whether he’s equipped with his solo setup of various drum machines and synths, or performing 100% live as The Opiuo Band, his explosive live shows never disappoint. As a remixer Opiuo’s credits span far & wide, from Gwen Stefani to Kimbra, PrettyLights to Infected Mushroom, KOAN Sound to Shapeshifter and many more. Withsuch a grand scopeits no wonder Opiuo’s musical meanderings are heard the world over.
