Drew Carmody, better known by his stage name L D R U, is an Australian DJ and record producer. His first single, "The Tropics", was released in 2013. L D R U is best known for the single "Keeping Score" featuring Paige IV. The track reached No. 14 on the Australian ARIA Charts[1] and No. 22 on Triple J Hottest 100, 2015,[2] and was nominated for a 2016 ARIA Award for Best Dance Release and for Breakthrough Artist.[3] LDRU embarked on a capital cities tour of Australia in July 2016.[4] His first studio album, Sizzlar, peaked at No. 66 on the ARIA Charts.[5] The name L D R U derives from the phrase "left, down, right, up", a part of a cheat code used in the Grand Theft Auto series of games.[6]

In October 2017, Drew supported The Chainsmokers on their Australian tour.[7][8]

Carmody was previously a member of Carmada alongside Max Armata. He left the duo in 2018 to focus on his solo career.[9][10]
