Luna's family was always involved in music, coming down through many generations, music underlines Luna's heritage. Her uncle Junior Marvin holds the title as lead guitarist for the legendary Bob Marley's Wailers band. Marvin also played a huge part as a mentor in the early stages of her career. Luna flew to Kingston, Jamaica to complete her first recordings with her uncle at the age of sixteen. Therefore, it came as no surprise to her family when Luna aspired to be in the music business as a singer songwriter and musician. Her uncle was a major influence on her professional career choice.

At the age of nineteen Luna worked with her first band, named The I-Rise Band. After gaining a few years of experience, Luna moved to the Bay Area to further her ambitions. There she attended the Jazz School in Berkeley. Working with her new five piece professional band, Luna has since opened for numerous large reggae acts those including, Toots and the Maytals, Third World, Buju Banton, Michael Franti, Israel Vibration, Morgan Heritage, Culture. In 2002, Luna performed at California's largest Reggae festival, Reggae on the River. This occasion gave Luna huge exposure and promotion.

'Move With Me', Luna Angel's debut album, features an ensemble of diverse tracks which demonstrates the gifted young artist's remarkable musical versatility. Her premiere effort on her independent label, Mountain Moon Records, is an innovative expression of Reggae, R&B, Dancehall and Hip-Hop. The album reflects the extensive array of Luna's talents not just vocally but also on her rhythm guitar as well as through her songwriting and musical arrangements.

She demonstrates the various capabilities of her exquisite sultry vocals on lively tracks like "Lookin Fly" and "Highest Level", and slows the tempo on the melodic rhythms, "Open Your Heart". She takes you on a musical journey to the motherland with the powerful echo of the the Djembe drum as she trods onto "Africa Land". In "Sweet Memories" she delivers a heartfelt song about love and loss over an upbeat track accented with Spanish nylon string guitars. The title track "Move With Me", bears the signature style of her famous uncle Junior Marvin of the legendary Bob Marley and the Wailers Band. On this track Junior adds his classic blues flair to Luna's vibrant sound.

She compassionately sings about the injustice and harsh reality that many in our society face in "Position of Mankind". The same emotion is also felt in her song, "Just Can't Bow" (Ghetto Youths), which is a collaborative effort between Luna and her brother Moese. Moese spices up the tune with his ragga style chants which can also be heard on the tracks "Love Me No More" and "Highest Level". Moese, an upcoming dancehall vocalist, has played an instrumental role in Luna's musical career. His efforts are currently focused on laying the final touches on his own debut release.
