LUYD
Bio
Warning: LUYD (Lock Up Your Dawtas) is not responsible for any sudden urges to dance, sing along, or question the patriarchy. Proceed with caution.
LUYD, the queer drummer, musician, and motivational singer from Johannesburg, South Africa, is a genre-bending, rule-breaking, and soul-stirring force to be reckoned with. Their music is a deliciously messy blend of 90's R&B and soul, drum and bass, rock, and electronic elements – think of it as a musical smoothie with a kick from the best bud.
But don't let the catchy beats fool you – LUYD's music is also a powerful tool for social commentary, self-love, and empowerment. They're on a mission to challenge the status quo, push boundaries, and inspire listeners to be their authentic selves.
The name "Lock Up Your Dawtas" is, of course, a tongue-in-cheek dare to society. LUYD believes that women and girls are not fragile flowers that need to be protected, but rather powerful forces of nature who deserve to be unleashed. And, honestly, if the patriarchy is threatened by a little thing like equality, that's not LUYD's problem.
As a performer, LUYD brings a captivating stage presence, combining their drumming flair with charm, energy, and a healthy dose of sass. Their music and persona are a testament to the power of self-expression, creativity, and a good sense of humor.
So, if you're ready to join the revolution, daaaaaaaance the night away, and possibly question everything you thought you knew about the world, then LUYD is the artist for you. Just don't say nobody warned you...
