Carlow-based DJ Norberto Loco has collaborated with Irish alt-dark pop artist MICAH on new single, Savage Daughter. We asked Norberto the BIG questions . . .
Norberto is a DJ and producer and a Guinness World Record holder for the Longest Marathon Club DJing (200 hours non-stop). He has toured extensively across Europe, Asia, Australia, North America, and beyond.
Savage Daughter "draws on themes of ancestry, womanhood, and emotional inheritance, positioning the song as both a personal declaration and a communal rallying cry."
