About

Aluna is a sonic shapeshifter, seamlessly blending the pulsating rhythms of dance music with the soulful depth of R&B and the global textures of Afrobeat. Born Aluna Francis, the British artist first rose to prominence as one-half of the electronic duo AlunaGeorge, whose 2013 hit "You Know You Like It" became a global anthem, later remixed by DJ Snake. Since stepping into her solo career, Aluna has redefined herself as a fearless innovator, crafting music that is as introspective as it is danceable. Her 2020 debut solo album, *Renaissance*, is a celebration of Black dance music, reclaiming its roots while pushing the genre into uncharted territory. Aluna’s artistry is deeply rooted in cultural storytelling, often addressing themes of identity, empowerment, and liberation. Her collaborations with artists like Kaytranada, SG Lewis, and Diplo highlight her versatility and influence across genres. Beyond music, she’s a vocal advocate for diversity in the electronic music scene, using her platform to amplify underrepresented voices. Recently, Aluna has continued to expand her creative horizons, releasing the EP *MYCELiUM* in 2023, which explores themes of connection and growth through lush, experimental soundscapes. With her magnetic stage presence and boundary-pushing vision, Aluna remains a trailblazer, proving that dance music can be both a party and a profound statement.
