Loud Luxury is a Canadian production and DJ duo consisting of Andrew Fedyk and Joe Depace, based in Los Angeles. In 2017, they released a remix of the Martin Garrix single "Scared to Be Lonely", which gained them recognition.

Music Career
Andre Fedyk and Joe Depace grew up in London, Ontario. They became friends in College in London and started to make music in 2012. They described their music to be “deep house with a shot of tequila”. Some of their inspirations were artists like The Weeknd, Calvin Harris, and Disclosure. They posted songs and remixes on Soundcloud, and gained support over the years by popular DJs like Tiësto and Oliver Heldens. In 2015 the duo decided to move to Los Angeles and see if they could grow their career further. They began opening for artists like Arty and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. They then begun to collaborate with artists like Borgeous and came out with a song called “Going Under” which was released in 2016. Several remixes of theirs started to gain some attention with Martin Garrix’s “Scared to Be Lonely”. Then in 2017 they released their single “Body (feat. Brando)” which was released through Armin Van Buuren’s record label Armada Music. “Body” charted to number 20 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs on Spotify with 30 million Spotify streams. Apple Music was one of the first streaming services to recognize the potential of this song putting in on most of their pop playlists. They now play at many music festivals all over North America. One being Veld this year, a big Toronto EDM festival that happens every year.

Growth and Development
Andre Fedyk and Depace went to college in London, Ontario. They both aspired to become music producers and decided to move to Los Angeles after college to pursue that. They lived in a tight one-bedroom apartment and ate oatmeal every day. They’re day-to-day in Los Angeles would consist of them searching on Soundcloud messaging different artists they were excited about and ask them if they were willing to write music together. They were invited to serval shows in Hollywood, and would be blown away with some of the talented artists they would see. One of those artists being Brando, which is the singer in their hit song “Body”. Brando was singing in a band, and the Fedyk and Depace had to chance to collaborate with him after several emails back and forth. They already have several songs they are working on to follow up with a track like “Body” and now being signed to Armada Records, they know they have the support to get their tracks out there. One of their main goals after this is to get their sound out there to as many people as possible. An inspiration to them is Drake and how he has created a global sound, and that is something they would like to do as well.

History
The duo was formed when Fedyk and Depace, who met at school, collaborated. Going to a Porter Robinson concert, they became inspired with the way Robinson had connected with the crowd. In December 2016, they released the song "See It Again".
