Julieta Emilia Cazzuchelli[4] (born 16 December 1993), known professionally as Cazzu, is an Argentine rapper and singer. Born and raised in Fraile Pintado, Jujuy, she gained popularity with her singles "Loca", "Toda", "Pa Mi" and "Chapiadora".[5][6]

Julieta Emilia Cazzuchelli was born on 16 December 1993 in Fraile Pintado, Jujuy to an Argentine mother and to an Italian immigrant father. She had been interested in music since she was eleven years old. She started singing with her father, who was also a musician and who inspired her to become one. When she finished high school, she moved to Tucumán to study cinematography and, some time after, she moved to the Buenos Aires Province to study graphic design.[5][6][7]

Cazzu started her musical career as a cumbia singer and then as a rock singer, in which she was not very successful. After kicking off her music career in cumbia and rock, she tested the waters in the urban scene, dropping real unapologetic songs about female empowerment. She started her musical career as Cazzu as an independent artist, paying for her first recordings and video clips. In an interview with Billboard Argentina, she said: "For me, Cazzu is everything I want to be. She's my alter ego, she's a damn superhero."[4][5][6][7]

She gained popularity in the Latin trap music scene after the release of her collaboration "Loca" with fellow Argentine rappers Khea and Duki. The song became even more popular after Bad Bunny joined for the remix.
