The Sixth Dimension's Pop R&B singer Mars Luna enlists high school best friends Joshua Luna (Josh), Kainalu Kamai (Nalu) & Holokahiki Toves (Holo) to break down the behind the scenes stories and creative processes of his first EP "Genesis" (available on Spotify & Apple Music). In this inaugural episode, the trio discuss:
the foundation of their friendship, how they were able to keep it going after high school, and the roles they play in Mars Luna's creative odyssey.
the origins of the "Mars Luna" name, the events that led up to Josh's decision to pursue music and how the option of pursuing a musical career was always "written in the stars".
the events that led to the creation of Mars Luna's "Genesis" EP and the song breakdown behind each song (How Can I Live Without You, These Damn Feelings, Set Me Free, Lipstick Blues & Sailboat).
behind the scenes events of the "Genesis" photoshoot with Josh and Holo, how a cracked mirror led to a sliced finger, the importance of utilizing your resources creatively and why it's necessary to have fun while creating.
how the "Genesis" studio sessions played out at 11th Street Records and the experience of recording in a studio.
the process of creating our first music video for the Mars Luna song "These Damn Feelings", how we were able to create it without a budget and how Nalu really felt about being an actor for the video.
what our individual purposes are in our lives and whether we feel like we're living them out right now.
