Rudy Mancuso

Rudy Mancuso is a multi-hyphenate creative force—musician, filmmaker, comedian, and internet sensation rolled into one. Born in New Jersey to a Brazilian-Italian family, his work often playfully blends his cultural roots with a knack for rhythmic storytelling. He first gained fame through viral Vine and YouTube sketches, but music has always been central to his artistry, blending R&B, bossa nova, and electronic beats into tracks like the laid-back "Magic" and the bilingual bop "Anda Pal Carajo (APC)." His 2024 film *Música*, which he wrote, directed, and starred in, doubled as a love letter to his synesthesia and São Paulo heritage, accompanied by its vibrant soundtrack.

Mancuso’s music feels like hanging out with a friend who’s equally likely to crack a joke or drop a heartfelt melody—see the cheeky "I Think I'm Cool" or the soulful "Mama." Tracks like "Lento" and "Black & White" showcase his groove-centric style, while collaborations like the LöKii remix of "Magic" prove he’s down to experiment. Whether he’s crafting lo-fi beats for lazy days ("bored at home") or weaving cinematic soundscapes, Rudy’s work is a celebration of life’s messy, rhythmic chaos.
