BIOGRAPHY
Born in Oakland, CA.  and residing in the East Bay,…..Lunacie A.K.A. Young Lune,
shows his versatility through his  music which he describes as, “Stevie Wonder
meets Charles Manson.”  Lune got his name from some old homies from back in
the day who had seen him do some crazy sh*t.    Somebody once told him,
“Everything you do is,…utter lunacy,” so the name speaks for itself but now with
much more meaning to it. At an early age, Lunacie learned to play a number of
instruments including, piano, drums, saxophone, kalimbas, organ,  & congas.  
Growing up, Lunacie listened to everything from Hip-Hop to Rock,Blues to Pop,
genre to genre & “pretty much anybody that’s creative & the best at what they do”.     

This opened up a whole new world of music and inspiration to the already  talented
Lunacie.  His mother recognized his talent at a young age so she tried to musically
expose him to as much and as many styles aspossible.    Church and gospel
music played a huge role in his upbringing as well so the soulful sound is evident
through some of his work.  Lune seemed to know that all music should be
respected and valued across the board regardless of genre.  One of Lunacie’s
Uncle not only got him interested in making beats but he challenged him.  “Me and
my Uncle Theron were riding in the car onetime & heard a 2Pac song (I get
around), he looked at me and said, ‘The only reason I like this song is cause it’s a
smooth piano playing in the background,…it comes up every four bars,…see if you
can hear it.’”  Let’s just say Lunacie heard it.  With all these influences and a
massive interest in music and the industry itself, Lunacie knew he had all the tools
to become successful.  And with the lure of the emerging phenomenon known as
hip-hop, it was only a matter of time before Lunacie began working on his own
define style of music. When asked how he feels about his music, he says, “In a
word,…necessary, in more than a word,…beautiful power being delivered so
intelligently it’s often misconstrued as having offensive undertones, (ha ha ha).”

Writing has been an appeal for him as well.  Poems, stories, even movies that have
some sort of twist or surprise ending were scenarios that Lune said,“wanted to be
all over it.”  After hearing & witnessing a lot of bullshit being played on the radio and
on T.V., Lune felt a new breath of talent was needed and he wanted to be that
person.  “Everybody was sayin’ how great this music was while I was disagreein’
thinkin’, ‘I can do better than that,’” and that’s all it  took to ignite the fire.  A talented
producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and rapper, Lune’s intense lyrics and
his production skills will certainly elevate him to a status that will make him well
known in the bay area and in the industry.  As he puts it, “As soon as you think you’
re on my level, I’ll step it up,…..Don’t Underestimate Me !!!”
