Luna Red will has released her brand new EP “Journey To Self” – an introspective rnb, synth-pop inspired, futuristic expedition into her Afro-Indigenous heritage.
“As an Afro Indigenous woman, it has been a struggle to find my place within Community. It has led to my continued research and fascination with Black and Indigenous peoples and our history and culture today. I want to challenge the history that was forced upon us by western society and tell a different story – one of love, divine power, unity and peace between Black and Indigenous Peoples. I strive to entertain my audience and while I have their attention, I aim to share a valuable lesson. The performing arts are a fun way to teach and an even more fun way to learn. For my 5 song EP, I aim to create songs that entice people to think outside of the box and to go against the status-quo of “beauty”, love, gender roles, culture, religion/spirituality and history.” – Luna Red
