Flora Luna, whose real name is Geneviève Freynet, has been carving out her place on the national stage since the inception of her project in December 2021. As a semi- finalist in the prestigious Grand Concours at the Festival international de la chanson de Granby (Quebec) and winner of Chant’Ouest in 2022 (Alberta), she has also performed at a number of festivals, including the Festival de la chanson de Tadoussac (Quebec), the Coup de coeur francophone festival as opening act for Vincent Vallières (Manitoba), Festival du Voyageur (Manitoba) and the TD International Winnipeg Jazz Festival, among others. She is the recipient of the Réseau des grands espaces/Festival Les oreilles en pointe (France) award, which will launch her international career in 2024.
Through a harmonious fusion of pop, jazz, rock, and R&B, she evokes the pre-storm exhilaration of the prairies, capturing the electric charge in the air, a deep contemplation, and shifting moods, in both English and French.
Flora Luna releases her debut EP, L’autre bord du mur, in March 2024, which unveils her social exploration and quest for beauty. The songs, infused with Flora Luna’s acute sensitivity to the surrounding world, tells poignant stories, offering an insightful perspective on our era. Flora Luna’s art is sincere, confident, and captivating, resonating with the authenticity of a fully flourishing artist.
