Introducing: Luna Webster

 I'm not sure if 'home grown' could even be a phrase to describe a certain type of music but it sounds nice anyway. Even if it doesn't exist, I would describe Luna Webster as a 'home grown' artist. Based somewhere in Scotland, her live music has stayed there, but her music online been spread throughout the UK, thanks to the magical world of social media. A lover of many interesting things, including Quentin Tarantino, Arcade Fire, feminism and Breaking Bad, you could say Luna is 'relatable' to many teenagers today. She's very interesting even before we get onto talking about her music! Her debut EP was recorded over a year ago and although she apologises for the lack of recording going on and states 'I'M NOT DEAD', she is always, reassuringly, writing songs and producing wonderful stuff.

Her EP is so lovely, I really do adore it. So haunting yet inviting at the same time. Even Jim from Tribes has a copy of her EP! 'Hollywood May be Dead but Let's Dance on the Gravestones' is the title, and I'm sure it has some secret, personal meaning behind it but I'm not going to bother guessing for you, you can figure it out yourself. As I said earlier, Luna's popularity has really increased through social media. A well known face on twitter, Luna and her small, yet strong, fanbase are always there to promote Luna's music and work. I remember when I first heard my favourite song by Luna, Liquor and Lipstick , I tweeted Luna saying how much I loved it and she thanked me, genuinely. I can't imagine what it's like being told that your music or work or whatever is truly loved by someone you may have not even met anymore. I'm sure it's a wonderful feeling.

I guess by 'home grown', I meant someone who has managed to do a lot of their work themselves, and is really proud of it, even if it is not as widely appreciated as they'd like it to be. These 'home grown' artists could one day take off and be HUGE and have a HUGE fanbase but of course, it would be pretty hard to forget the people who were there 'from the start' (to put that phrase in the least cringey way possible) and the people who helped them. There are many artists like this, just like Luna Webster, and long may they continue.
