MKO SUN

…is a slammin' live-meets-electronic groove unit led by frontwoman and primary songwriter, Hannah Makk, whose vocals glimmer at the surface of mind-bent songwriting and big beats. Performing as an explosive three-piece, MKO Sun combines live instrumentation with electronics to forge a unique sound which is crisp and electric, yet has the ability to rock hard and groove deep. Steele Chabau (bass, synth) and Myka Wallace (drums) also trigger samples and manipulate effects to build a different sonic realm for each song. A highly visual creator and performer, and a lover of the weird and wonderful, Makk's lyrics exercise poetry, and paint otherwordly dreamscapes of intergalactic forays (as demonstrated on 2015 release "Opus Opalus", a cosmic and heartfelt dedication to Makk's late father). An immaculate vocal artist, she fluctuates between bell-like opera singer, soulful R&B crooner, 90s rapper, raspy punk princess and full diva belter; and incorporates dance and theatrics into her performance style. Winner of a 2013 QLD Music Award for Best Electronic/Dance Song and a current finalist in this year's awards for Best Music Video, MKO Sun has played support slots for international acts Peaches, Cody ChesnuTT, Ibeyi and Fatima; and Australian acts Hiatus Kaiyote, Katie Noonan and Ecca Vandal.
