[2] Their family moved around the region when they were a young child due to their Father's work, but their grandparents lived in Dubbo where they attended high school.

They have spoken openly about feeling like an outsider through their childhood and how this laid the grounds for their exploration of cultural identity in their work.

[4] In a 2019 interview with SBS TV's The Feed Mo'ju said: "Traditions are really important and family histories give you an insight into your own identity.

"[5] Mo'ju has toured with international performers[6] Tony Joe White, Rufus Wainwright,[7] Aloe Blacc[8] and Australian artists including Hilltop Hoods, Paul Kelly and Kira Puru.

Mo'ju has performed live shows with artists such as Hiatus Kaiyote, Ella Hooper, Kaiit, Sampa The Great[9] and[10] Emma Donovan.

Mo'ju was interviewed in the documentary film Her Sound, Her Story, along with a large number of high profile women in the Australian music industry.

[13] The band released two independent albums, Mojo Juju & The Snake Oil Merchants (2007) and Sellin' You Salvation (2009) before splitting.

[14] A compilation of earlier material, Mojo Juju & The Snake Oil Merchants – Anthology, was released in 2015 on European label Off-Label Records.

to coincide with the release of German film Bestefreunde, whose soundtrack was composed entirely of songs from the band's back catalogue.

[15] In January 2012, Ruiz de Luzuriaga released their eponymous (performing as Mojo Juju at the time) debut solo album on ABC Music.

They used the piano to write it, and, wanting to develop a new sound, collaborated with their friend Ptero Stylus, who had been working with hip hop duo Diafrix, as well as musicians from soul acts the Putbacks and the Cactus Channel.

[17] Mo'ju said that performing this new material "reignited their passion and purpose for music", but has also spoken out about the way women of colour and other diverse artists have been subject to tokenism in the industry.
