about

KUKU valorously expresses his critical perspective on the dogma of organized religion, politics, and oppressive authorities on his new opus. Hailing from a moderately religious family and a former Muslim himself, these days, KUKU adopts an agnostic view in regards to religion. He advocates that there is no correlation between morality and religion. Some believers will be quick to oppose this view, perhaps some might find it blasphemous, hence to save them the trouble KUKU appropriately titles the album "Ballads & Blasphemy."
