At the intersection of performance, fashion, queerness, and music lies SKUZLAND, the newly formed creative powerhouse made up of UGLY WORLDWIDE and ROBOT MOONJUICE. Together, they’re not just a duo—they’re a movement.

Known individually for their subversive work in fashion and nightlife, Ugly and Robot have long existed as disruptors. Ugly WorldWide first broke out of Chicago’s underground club scene with her gender-defiant looks and became a global modeling force after being discovered by legendary photographer Nick Knight. She's walked for major designers, collaborated with icons like Rihanna and Travis Scott, and used every platform to amplify queer visibility. Now, she's adding music to her repertoire.

Robot Moonjuice, a Harlem-born creative director, songwriter, and performance artist, cut his teeth in New York’s vibrant nightlife of the 2010s. With roots in fine art and theater, Robot has become known for his flamboyant, fearless storytelling—on stage, on screen, and now on record.

As SKUZLAND, they blur every line—sound, style, gender, genre. It's chaotic, electric, raw, and deeply intentional.

In this exclusive conversation, the duo opens up about building a world that feels like home, taking up space as queer creators, and why the future belongs to the artists who refuse to play by the rules.
