Isaac Quazzo

**Isaac Cuozzo** (born November 4, 1998) is an English-American rapper and JStu team member who joined in 2022. Cuozzo is a camera operator and the manager of the JStuMusic channel. He is currently married to photographer Alivia Rafferty.

Cuozzo was born in Florida, and his family would emigrate to England at a young age. He went to middle school in North Carolina and went to Bible College in York, England, where he would meet Rafferty.

## Early life and education

Cuozzo was born on November 4, 1998, in Florida to missionaries Naomi and Jeff Cuozzo. When he was 6 months old, his family emigrated to York, England; his family would move to Cumbria at a later date. He attended elementary school there and lived in North Carolina for a few years while attending middle school. After graduating middle school, he would proceed to move back to England.

Raised in a Christian household, he adhered to Christianity until 16, when he converted to atheism. He would remain an atheist until he was 18, at which point he would convert back to Christianity.

Cuozzo moved back to the United States in January 2020, right before the COVID-19 pandemic struck. Upon moving to the United States, he got a job at Budget Blinds of Greater Colorado Springs, and also unknowingly worked with Andrew Scites' brother-in-law.

## Music career

Cuozzo began making music when he was 14. First releasing music under the pseudonym IZAK, the earliest songs known to have been publicly released by Quazzo was the EP *The Crowd*, which contained three songs: "Break Me First", "The Crowd", and "Dropping Fronts", the last of which features artist Torrential.

He later released "Granted", which he released somewhere in June 2015, however it has since been deleted. During this period, he switched his alias from IZAK to Izak Quaz.

He would then release "But Why" on July 28, 2015, "Don't Cry" somewhere between late 2015 and early 2016, "Steady Hands" on February 25, 2016, and "Cost of Happiness" on July 1, 2016, all four of which have been deleted. Cuozzo revealed in Laugh Daily Podcast episode 64 that during this time period, he released a now-deleted song with Hyper Fenton.:41:15

Cuozzo's first song that would stay up was with the song "Messed Up Good", which he released on his 18th birthday on November 4, 2016.

In 2021, he began work on his debut album. The title and release date still remains unknown.

On April 22, 2023, Cuozzo announced his first solo single in several years, titled "I'll Do It". The single was released on May 13, 2023.

## Fingerboarding career

Cuozzo has been fingerboarding since 2012. For the United States Fingerboarding League Summer Tour on their 2nd stop, Cuozzo placed 8th in the category "Best Run Street", and 7th in the category "Battle of the Plies".

## JStu affiliation

Upon moving to Colorado somewhere in 2019, Cuozzo became good friends with Caleb Cauthren, who at the time was a JStu team member, through skateboarding. It is possible that JStu reached out to Cuozzo because of this connection.

Cuozzo's first appearance in a JStu video was in the video "$10 VS $10,000 MICRO APARTMENTS", where he was referred to as "Quaz." He was originally hired to be a cameraman and a music producer, however after appearing in the video "Surviving Overnight in a Haunted High School", he became a recurring character in overnight videos, and eventually Cuozzo was casted as an on-screen member of JStu.

## Personal life

Cuozzo married Alivia Rafferty on August 1, 2020. He is of Italian descent. In "Ranking Best Fast Food Burgers!", Cuozzo revealed he has diabetes.

Cuozzo is the grandson of former NFL quarterback  Gary Cuozzo.
