Sueco

Hailing from Los Angeles, Sueco, born William Von Startzel on July 28, 1995, has established himself as a versatile and electrifying force in modern music. Growing up with a father who directed church choir, Sueco absorbed a rich tapestry of musical influences—from gospel harmonies to the grit of rock ’n’ roll and the pulse of urban street sounds—which would later shape his genre-blending style. Beginning his career behind the scenes as a producer and songwriter, he honed his craft before breaking out with the 2019 single “Fast,” whose trap-infused energy and braggadocious lyrics resonated on TikTok and earned him a deal with Atlantic Records, later spawning a remix featuring Offset and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie. That year also saw the release of his debut LP Miscreant, featuring tracks like “novacane:)” and “dork,” while subsequent singles such as “PRIMADONA,” “SOS” featuring Travis Barker, and “Story of My Life” with Trippie Redd and ILLENIUM cemented his growing fanbase. His second album, It Was Fun While it Lasted, continued this momentum with hits like “Sober,” “Loser,” and “Drunk Dial,” showcasing his ability to traverse pop-punk, hip-hop, and country-rock influences. Sueco’s music often explores themes of high anxiety, depression, and hopelessness, creating a raw emotional connection that resonates with listeners and fosters a sense of shared understanding. Known for high-energy live performances—including his recent Lollapalooza set where he engaged in crowd surfing—Sueco continues to innovate, blending intensity, versatility, and vulnerability to forge a deep bond with fans while pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.
