In the spotlight

The 2024 top hitmaker

Duplexity

Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Duplexity is the brainchild of siblings Savannah and Luke Judy. Steeped in a lifelong love for performance, the duo decided to combine their talents in the studio, crafting an original sound that nods to '90s alternative rock, with occasional hints of metal. Both Savannah and Luke are accomplished vocalists, switching between lead vocals as they perform with their live band. With Savannah on bass and both siblings equally skilled on guitar, they create a musical experience grounded in raw talent and deep family roots.

Rolling Stone is the unrivaled industry leader and one of the most iconic brands of our time—reaching a global audience of over 60 million people every month with cutting-edge multi-platform content. Staying true to its mission to tell exceptional stories that illuminate the culture of our times, Rolling Stone is the authority for music reviews, hard-hitting political commentary, and award-winning journalism.
