Brendan Tuckerman (born 20 March 1985),[1] who performs as Tuka, is an Australian hip hop artist from the Blue Mountains, New South Wales. He is a member of Thundamentals and a previous member of Rumpunch and Connect 4. He is also a solo artist, having released three studio albums,[2] and he co-produces his original music. He supported Horrorshow on their "Listen Close" tour[3] and in late 2015 toured Australia and the US on his first headline tour to support his third album Life Death Time Eternal (10 July 2015).
