MBP #154 Opiuo

Bio:

Opiuo is a genre-bending plethora of auditory and visual masterclasses. Positivity and movement are at the core of the project, and his music is an infectious electronic based blend of funk, soul, psychedelia, and booty-shaking bass.

Born in 1984 in rural New Zealand, his parents provided the land upon which music festivals were held. This extremely formative growth, surrounded by the early incarnations of Aotearoa's electronic music scene, exposed him to the celebration of life through self-expression, dance, and giant sound systems. These experiences shaped so much of who he is & what he stands for today.

Now calling Australia home, Oscar tours his party-starting music throughout the globe. Having spent more than a decade performing at some of the world's most renowned festivals and venues, including Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, and Coachella, as well as selling out Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre, he's performed his music in an unimaginably large array of formats. From his self-built orchestras to symphonic choirs, touring his own Opiuo Band, and as an immersive solo audio & visual show, his live creativity is limitless.

Taking home the New Zealand Music Award for Best Electronic Album in 2014, his catalogue is vast. Having released 5 full-length albums, 10 EPs, and a myriad of singles and remixes over the last 14 years. His latest album is a live recording from his legendary sold out performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, with The Opulent Orchestra, in May 2023.
