KIANA LUNA BIO
Born and raised in Japan at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Kiana grew up in a bilingual, multi-cultural home, with her Japanese father, American mother, and two older siblings. Without any formal training or a background in musical theory, Kiana began composing on the piano when she was eleven, after a transformative experience swimming with wild dolphins on the island of Oahu, Hawaii.
During her teen years being home-schooled in the mountains of Japan, Kiana began creating lyrically-driven songs on her mother’s guitar. Her current discography includes 8 independently produced albums, 7 of which are all original~ ranging from pop/folk vocal and guitar stylings, to instrumental piano serenades of ambient soundscapes.
For the past 20 years, Kiana’s music has been used to aid in relaxation and healing~ in hospice care facilities, spiritual workshops, massage and wellness centers, and acupuncture and yoga sessions around the world.
Since moving to her mother’s homeland of Hawaii in 1999, Kiana has performed in various bands across 6 of the Hawaiian Islands, and has given concerts as a solo artist across Japan and California, as well as headlining 5 tours across Italy since 2010. Opening for acts ranging from J- pop bands to Italian rock stars to the Gipsy Kings~ Kiana remains versatile in her ability to reach a wide variety of audiences.
Kiana has donated her albums, live performance, and mentorship to the at-risk youth at Palama Settlement on Oahu for the past 7 years; she volunteers her counsel to abused and battered women; enjoys volunteering her musical therapy for nursing homes around Hawaii; and donates proceeds from her album sales to organizations that inspire her.
With a strong Japanese-Hawaiian connection, Kiana's hope is to be a representation of how culture, language, and spiritual differences can be powerfully bridged through the unifying nature of music. She aspires to inspire, empower, and ignite positive shifts in the lives of her listeners~ while being an example of purpose-driven passion through her art, music, and message.
