Early life
Mojo Ruiz de Luzuriaga was born in regional New South Wales. Their father is Filipino, from Bacolod City, Negros and their mother is mixed race, of Wiradjuri and European heritage.{{Cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-18/mojo-juju-dissects-race-identity-representation-native-tongue/10114956|title='I will not apologise for taking up this space': Mo'Ju gets political with Native Tongue|last=Everything!|first=Beverley Wang for Stop|date=2018-08-18|website=ABC News|language=en-AU|access-date=2019-11-13}} 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. Their father speaks, but did not teach them, Spanish, Ilonggo or Tagalog language.{{cite web|url=http://www.thepin.org/meet/mojo-juju|website=The Pin|title=Mojo Juju: Let's talk|access-date=7 November 2019}}
Mojo grew up around music with a number of musicians in their mother's family. They had a few piano lessons before starting to play the guitar aged eight.{{cite news|publisher=Sydney Morning Herald|url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/genrebending-soul-singer-mojo-juju-puts-the-pow-back-into-pop-20150515-gh2rgl.html|first=Annabel|last=Ross|title=Genre-bending soul singer Mo'ju puts the pow back into pop|date=15 May 2015|access-date=7 November 2019}}

In April 2015, they released their second solo studio album Seeing Red/Feeling Blue, an album with more pop elements than the first, but touching on a range of genres. 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. It features the singles "A Heart Is Not a Yo-Yo" and "They Come and They Go".

=2018-2019: ''Native Tongue''=
In August 2018, Mo'ju's third studio album Native Tongue was released, after four years in the making.{{cite news|publisher=Australian Broadcasting Corporation|website=ABC News|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-08-18/mojo-juju-dissects-race-identity-representation-native-tongue/10114956|first=Beverly|last=Wang|series=Radio National: Stop Everything!|date=18 August 2018|title=Mojo Juju talks race, family and representation in their third album, Native Tongue|access-date=7 November 2019}} The album explored their family history, identity and race politics.{{cite web |last1=Herald |first1=Newcastle |title=Review: Mojo Juju - Native Tongue |url=https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/5610485/juju-identifies-our-ugly-truth/ |website=Newcastle Herald |access-date=13 May 2019}}
They have spoken of the highly personal nature of the album and the single, saying they were about “allowing yourself to own all those different parts of who you are”. Responding to criticism by right-wing commentator Andrew Bolt, who described the title track of the album as a complaint, Mo'ju said that it was in fact an “expression of some complex emotions, such as grief for a loss of culture and Indigenous languages and other impacts of assimilation, colonisation and the white-washing of non-western cultures. This is not a song of self-pity, [but rather]...a song of self-empowerment”.{{cite web|website=Adelaide Review|url=https://www.adelaidereview.com.au/arts/music/2019/11/01/mojo-juju-claims-a-place-in-the-conversation/|title=Mojo Juju claims a place in the conversation|date=1 November 2019|first=Alexis |last=Buxton-Collins|access-date=7 November 2019}}

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.{{cite web|work=The Guardian|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/aug/21/mojo-juju-fights-back-i-was-too-queer-too-brown-or-not-attractive-enough-to-sell-records|title=Mojo Juju fights back: 'I was too queer, too brown or not attractive enough to sell records'|first=Emily|last=Nicol|date=21 June 2018|access-date=7 November 2019}}
