ILUKA isn’t afraid to be outspoken, share her feelings, let out a little rage, or get weird. This unabashed honesty underscores her artistry as she stretches the boundaries of pop with blunt lyrics sweetened by disarmingly catchy songcraft and a bewitching aesthetic. ILUKA grew up on a farm in the Blue Mountains of Australia, where her dad handcrafted guitars as an accomplished luthier. She learned songwriting early on and drew inspiration from the likes of Kate Bush, David Bowie, and Queen, among others. Obsessed with style icons such as Stevie Nicks, Grace Jones, and Courtney Love, she carefully cultivated a whimsical aesthetic befitting her genre-breaking musicality. Emerging as an uncompromising and undeniable artist, she made waves in Australia and gained traction globally with Queen of Hearts in 2022. Around the same time, she settled in Los Angeles.After amassing millions of streams and earning acclaim from FLAUNT, MUNDANE, NME, and more, the Australia-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and disruptor amplifies her vision as loudly as possible on her 2025 full-length album, The Wild, The Innocent, and The Raging.
