Born in Piedimonte d'Alife (now called Piedimonte Matese), in the Province of Caserta, Campania, Cuomo started performing in a beat band, mainly active in local festivals and in music halls of Caserta.[1] After recording her first singles with the label KappaO, in the mid-1960s she moved to Rome, where she was scriptured by the club Kilt.[1]

Noticed by Nico Fidenco, Cuomo was offered to perform "Love Love Bang Bang", theme song of the film Kiss Kiss...Bang Bang.[1][2] In 1968, she was put under contract by Fonit Cetra.[1] During her career, Cuomo took part in Cantagiro, in some episodes of Settevoci and in several high-profile television programs.[1] In 1973, she married and significantly slowed her activities.[1]

In November 2025, she took part in the sixth season of The Voice Senior, passing the blind audition stage with a performance of "Città vuota" and joining Loredana Bertè's team.[3][4] However, she did not reach the semi-final.[5]
