Ice Chip Candy by LUPER DUPREE (Remix)

LUPER DUPREE is Troy Amidon, the experienced and innovative recording artist from Los Angeles. 

In the fall of 2016, just for fun, Troy released to select radio stations the debut of LUPER DUPREE, the delightful and mesmerizing debut album 'LD in LA'. The 1st single "Take Me There" received much praise and many features on FM radio specialty shows and several internet and college radio stations around the globe. Follow up singles "Ice Chip Candy", "Boom", "So in Awe", and “Pulling Strings” also received several radio plays and notoriety all throughout 2017, 2018, and 2019. “Boom” was featured in prime time on national network TV in the USA, and now LUPER is becoming well known internationally. 

The positive message LUPER spreads is quite remarkable considering the amount of physical pain Troy has endured since childhood battling a severely chronic condition of Crohn’s Disease which has resulted in 3 near death emergency surgeries all ending with the removal of portions of his intestines and way too many hospital stays in between to count. He is very fortunate to still be alive. Last year alone, he underwent 2 cadaver meniscus Arthroplasty surgeries due to extremely painful bones rubbing on bones in both of his thumb metacarpal joints, an effort to become pain free and ultimately save his guitar wielding hands. Thankfully, the surgeries worked.

Prior to the operations, not knowing if he'd ever be able to play guitar again, and performing through massive pain, LUPER recorded the new album “Hanging Out with LUPER DUPREE” with the help of a few friends including Dan Konopka (drummer/producer/mixer from the band “OK Go”) to express his gratitude and feelings for those near and dear to him, especially his wife and 3 young children. Steve Hardy mixed 3 of the tracks, and the album was mastered by the renowned Maor Appelbaum. Troy doesn't view his poor health as a negative curse, it's just something about his biology that he deals with daily, and this obstacle he faces is truly a gift that, through his music and words, has given life to the rise of LUPER DUPREE. 

Listen to the new album “Hanging Out with LUPER DUPREE” arriving on all platforms arriving 9/25/20!

There's always a good reason to enjoy books, music, poetry and art.

A path into a dreamland.
