Early life

Karshøj's grandfather was a jazz musician.[3]
Career
Quadron
Performing under the name Coco O., she formed the duo Quadron with Robin Hannibal of Rhye in 2009.[6] The word Quadron comes from archaic Danish "kvadron", a term used to signify persons of "quarter" race, and refers to the fact that both musicians have a biracial parent.[7][6] Coco O. was the duo's singer and moved to Los Angeles after the release of their debut album.[8] Her voice was referred to by Pitchfork as "sweetly soulful."[9]
Solo work
Jay-Z selected Coco O. to contribute the song "Where the Wind Blows" to the soundtrack for Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby.[6] She has also worked with Pharrell Williams and provided featured vocals for Tyler, the Creator, Vulfpeck and Joey Dosik.[2][10][11]
In 2015 she released her first solo single, "Hardest Thing."[9] Coco O. moved back to Denmark in 2018 and released her debut solo project Dolceacqua on May 25, 2018.[12] The two-song EP has a bossa nova sound.[13] The album was written for an ex-boyfriend and named after the small Italian village where they fell in love.[3] ColorsxStudios described it as "featuring mellow, acoustic guitar accompanied by rich, cinematic strings" and noted the sound is a departure from her previous work with Quadron.[14]
On April 30, 2021, she released her first solo album It's a Process.[15] Zo of Okayplayer heralded the album as "a stunningly intimate showcase of the singer’s voice across a range of compositions pulling from all eras of r&b and soul."[16]
