Biography
Early career
Loud began his music career using the name Loudmouth/Loud Mouth (2008-2012), a name he chose when he was 14 while participating WordUp! rap battles. In high school, he met Laurent Fortier-Brassard (better known by his stage name, Lary). Alongside Lary and producer Ajust (Alex Guay), Loud went on to form the group Loud Lary Ajust. Separating in 2016, Loud went on to begin a solo career with his first EP, titled New Phone, which contained four songs including 56K.
First album: Une année record
On November 3, 2017, Loud released his first full-length album titled Une année record.[14] The success of this album led to Loud's first concert in France to a sold-out venue.[15]

The album includes a duet with Charlotte Cardin on the track "Sometimes, All the Time", which blends both English and French lyrics.[17]
