His style fuses soft, wholesome lo-fi beats to bass-heavy boom bap rhythms to create something smooth, chill, and easy to listen to.

Early Life
L.Dre’s journey with music kicked off early. At just 9 years old, he got into hip-hop through skateboarding—shoutout to 50 Cent for setting it off. He was all about rap at first, but after high school, it became clear that production was where his passion really lived. By 2018, L.Dre had secured a degree in music production, and then he hit the grind hard—posting daily on Instagram for two years straight. The hustle paid off, and slowly but surely, he started building a loyal audience.
L.Dre’s breakout moment came through TikTok with his remix of Frank Ocean’s “Chanel,” and things have been steadily building from there. He’s since gathered over 200 million streams across platforms and worked with brands like Apple, Honda, and Ray-Ban. One of his proudest achievements is dropping Lofi Symphony with Deutsche Grammophon, the biggest classical label in the world. Another career highlight? His lo-fi rework of the Steven Universe theme song, which pulled in over 50 million streams on Spotify. It blew up on TikTok too, with over 10 million videos made to it and celebrities like Will Smith and Kylie Jenner using the track in their videos. For L.Dre, these milestones are exciting, but it’s still all about making music that resonates with people.
