Toronto-based Lucky Variety is an inter-genre musical project by DJ-producer TLO and singer-songwriter Estyr, blending neo-soul, alt-RnB, and singer-songwriter stylings. TLO is a champion turntablist, Juno Award–winning producer, and the official tour DJ for Shad. Estyr is a solo artist and co-founder of chamber-pop band Tiger Balme.
Their latest release, "Miranda" (November 27, 2025), follows their 2023 single "Status Anxiety." The project merges TLO’s beat-making and production with Estyr’s ethereal vocals and lyricism, drawing inspiration from artists like Little Dragon, Lianne La Havas, and Esthero.
Lucky Variety’s music explores themes of disconnection, diaspora, and community, shaped by two years of remote collaboration and a year of in-person sessions in TLO’s Chinatown studio—fueled, naturally, by Chinese barbecue and bubble tea.
