Host note
little luna is an LA singer-songwriter who has taught yoga and guided meditation for a decade. Lyrics show up in meditation; she writes from voice memos with the antenna up. The episode title is her line: breathing in this timeline — a song can belong to the person living it, not just the chart.
We talk through an honest writing year with no real breaks, collaboration as a creative exchange even when the song stays hers, sync without abandoning the little-luna sound, and a live show she wants to feel like a heated yoga class: the music slaps, the flow works, everyone leaves better. She has even thought about VIP as a guided meditation, not just a photo.

Selected excerpts
I love to follow that creative flow although it will end up being my song we're still making it together, we're having this creative exchange.
I've taken no real breaks and I haven't felt like I needed to. And so last year I just was... really trying to write the music that's the most honest to me.
I want to write my own and it is as cheesy as it sounds.
Getting sync placements... has been placed by different companies that work with independent, unpublished artists.
You could have a kind of trash song but somehow... it could end up... being massive even though it's kind of a trash song.
If what I'm making sounds way too far away from my artistry, then when it gets placed in something, I'm probably not going to promote it because I don't, I'm like this doesn't relate to my artistry.
