ABOUT
Luna Paige is a singer-songwriter from Stellenbosch. She has released 5 solo albums and 2 compilation albums. Her introduction to the music scene came when she was invited to record three songs on a compilation album in 1999.
Luna was 19 years old at the time and still studying at Stellenbosch University. Here she shared the stage with renowned SA singer Lesley Rae-Dowling. This experience launched Luna into a professional music career.
The end result - 5 solo albums and Iluminar Productions - a production company aimed at introducing the world to interesting and top-class South African entertainment. Luna initially wrote and composed in English and released three albums before she decided to release an Afrikaans album. Her first three albums Luna, Missing Pieces and Wonderful life introduced her as a singer-songwriter
whose lyrics and voice touch the soul. Her first Afrikaans CD and DVD (Storielied) ensured her invitations to perform in Amsterdam, Soest and Den Haag (Netherlands). There after she released her fourth English album, Borders & Beyond and initiated the Afrikaans music theatre production, Korreltjie Kantel. This album was funded by RSG and received 5-star reviews. This production will
be running in Belgium and Netherlands in October 2019.
Paige produced RSG radio music production ‘Smeltkroes’ featuring actor Marlo Minnaar and musician Ramon Alexander – celebrating poetry by writers such as Nathan Tantraal, Jolyn Phillips, Shirmoney Rhode and Diana Ferrus. This music production will hit the stage in March 2020.
