Born & raised in Manchester, Dana Luna spent her time grown up in indie clubs, loving and admiring the indie-rock scene. She’s now finally got into this scene as a musician, and has quickly become a rising star within it. Her latest single “Back&Forth” is an infectious new release that comes with a colourful musical melting pot consisting of simple but effective drum beats, over-drive soaked guitars and emotionally-penned vocals.
Discussing the single Dana Luna explains: “I’d just got out of a really toxic situation with an ex. I was sitting on a train and we were in yet another bad argument. I wrote out this really long message basically telling him to F himself and then the song ‘You & Jennifer’ by Bulow came on through my headphones. It was such a weird song to just randomly come on because it was just so unreasonably fitting and I just got this overwhelming spark of inspiration from that & how shameless & unapologetic she was with it. So anyway, I erased the message, hit block, got my notebook out & wrote the lyrics to the first verse.”
Dana Luna’s first studio EP ‘Sorry did you call me ExTra?’ is set for 2023. She is an unsigned solo artist with a diverse range of eclectic influences spanning from the punk era to present day pop artists such as Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo & Billie Eilish.
From age 3 she was heavily involved in musical theatre & started learning guitar and writing songs at age 12. At 16 she signed with Boss Models in Manchester & went on to win Miss British Isles in 2021 but later left the organisation as she wanted to have more freedom over her own creative expression. Dana is now taking her music into her own hands.
