With over 14 years of classical piano and violin training, Luna brings a unique musical sensibility to the rock genre; playing both distorted guitar and violin with a looping pedal resulting in a “dreamy romp through some beautiful melodies and heartbreaking lyrics” (Deli Magazine).
Beginning in early 2015 after returning from Montreal, where she attended one semester at McGill’s music program, Luna began writing music under the name VEINS, playing live as a three-piece band. As her sound slowly evolved, the band shifted into Luna Li, a female-centric 4 piece band.
After finishing the Independent Music Production program at Seneca in April 2016, and playing shows around Ontario and Quebec over the last year, Luna has released two singles and music videos, and is set to release her debut EP in October 2017. Bringing a much-needed strong female presence to the Toronto music scene, Luna Li is unabashedly herself.
Starting in 2020 through 2021, she began a rise to viral fame on Tik Tok through her "jams" loops that she would post online, eventually culminating in her Jams EP releasing on February 5th 2021, to viral success. She since has gone on tour as the opening act for Japanese Breakfast.

Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Swing around front, let me inside
Playin' my song into my sides
It hurts, I can't lie, 'member those times
Fought to get out, I wanna get out
Those pictures so clear, will fade in my mind
Leavin' me here with ashes and fire
People don't heal, people don't feel
People aren't real, so make me this deal
Won't you gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Look into your heart and let me know
Do things turn black and gray as they go?
When I'm far too gone, will you show me love?
Give me love
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Caught in a river of records and dreams
Oh, will you keep up with me?
Everyone's looking for someone to hold
But I can't let you go, ooh
Ooh, ooh
The lyrics to Luna Li's song "Gimme Love" speak to a deep longing for love and connection in the face of feeling lost and alone. The repetition of the phrase "gimme, gimme love" reflects the desperation and urgency of the singer's plea for love and affection. When they say "when I'm gone," it could imply a sense of feeling invisible or overlooked, yearning for someone to notice and love them.
The song also touches on the pain and struggle that the singer has experienced in their past. The line "Fought to get out, I wanna get out" suggests a desire to escape a difficult or toxic situation. The mention of "pictures so clear" fading in their mind reflects the fading memories of the past, possibly indicating a desire to move on and let go of painful experiences.
The chorus emphasizes the need for love, with the repetition of "gimme, gimme love" acting as a plea to be seen, heard, and loved. The second verse poses deeper questions about love, asking if it turns "black and gray" as time goes on. The singer wonders if, even when they are at their lowest point, someone will still show them love and acceptance.
Overall, "Gimme Love" is a heartfelt plea for love and connection, captured through evocative imagery and introspective inquiries.

Gimme, gimme love, gimme, gimme love
I yearn for love, I crave love
When I'm gone
When I am absent, when I am no longer here
Swing around front, let me inside
Open up to me, welcome me in
Playin' my song into my sides
Playing music that resonates deeply within me
It hurts, I can't lie, 'member those times
It pains me, I cannot deny; remembering those moments
Fought to get out, I wanna get out
Struggled to escape, I desire liberation
Those pictures so clear, will fade in my mind
Vivid memories that will eventually diminish
Leavin' me here with ashes and fire
Leaving me trapped in devastation
People don't heal, people don't feel
Individuals do not recover, they do not experience genuine emotion
People aren't real, so make me this deal
People are not authentic, so offer me this agreement
Look into your heart and let me know
Examine your deepest emotions and inform me
Do things turn black and gray as they go?
Do circumstances become dark and bleak as they progress?
When I'm far too gone, will you show me love?
When I am lost, will you still demonstrate affection for me?
Give me love
Provide me with love
Caught in a river of records and dreams
Immersed in a flow of memories and aspirations
Oh, will you keep up with me?
Will you match my pace, will you stay by my side?
Everyone's looking for someone to hold
Everyone seeks someone to embrace
But I can't let you go, ooh
Yet I cannot release you, I cannot say goodbye
Ooh, ooh
Expressing emotional intensity
