Life and career

Luude released his first single in December 2015.

On 3 September 2021, Luude released the EP 6AM.

In 2021, Luude remixed Men at Work's "Down Under" as a drum and bass track. Men at Work's lead singer Colin Hay re-recorded the vocal for the track's official release in November 2021, on the Sweat It Out label. The record made the top ten in Australia and in the United Kingdom and was number one in New Zealand, where by 6 February 2022, it had spent four weeks at the top, twice as many weeks as the original did in 1982.
