Paris Luna is a true talent! She can write, sing and perform songs that are playful or insightful, but you always have fun watching her and her self-titled band. If I wasn't gainfully employed, I'd follow her around or go out and spread the word about her myself! -Darrin Schnur Director of Promotion SE Roadrunner Records - Darrin Schnur Director of Promotion SE Roadrunner Records
“Step aside Miss Hilton, there's a new Paris in town. But there are no hotels or haute couture in this girl's story, just an acoustic guitar, raw talent and a lot of determination. ”
