Bio

Hailing from metro Detroit, Maggie Cocco’s dedication to exploring the depth, breadth, and profundity of music has seen her perform in stadiums with legacy artists, galleries with Avant Garde expressionists, and many people, places, and musics between. Driven by a commitment to her global community, Maggie Cocco Music offers patron subsidized Pay What You Can services and contributions to various arts and social justice movements and organizations, weaving her passions into the fabric of her work. An independent artist, Cocco is based in Northland, New Zealand where she composes and runs community music programming between tours.

At the recent heart of Maggie's output, Science for Sociopaths is an evocative theatrical art pop project delving deep into themes of systemic and interpersonal trauma wounds and connection. Like A Moth is the first of two meticulously crafted song cycles that follow our heroine through the course of one or more tumultuous relationships (depending on how you listen). An accompanying booklet features artworks created at Science for Sociopaths shows from 2020-2023 where live performances often morphed into improvised multimedia experiments featuring local artists and audience participation. Partnership with Anzac Road Analog Recording in Whangarei, New Zealand in 2022 resulted in an 18 month journey to capture the essence of these unique performances. Joined by acclaimed cellist Bonnie Schwarz [UK] on cello, the duo perform Cocco’s songs, interlinked by key relationships, motif, and story, with nuance and sensitivity.
