Luna Zegers

Luna´s musical path is like a journey. Born in the Netherlands in a musical family she listens to all sorts of music, but the jazz that her father listens to has her special attention. In 2010 she finishes her musical studies in jazz singing at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with the final grade "cum laude" (a 9).

She travels several times to the United States where she takes singing lessons with Theo Bleckmann and composition lessons with Bill Markovitz (Manhattan School of Music). Furthermore her curiosity brings her to India, where she studies south Indian singing in Bangalore, which puts her subsequently on the path of flamenco song, being the ages old tradition of Indian music one of the roots of this Spanish musical style.

Luna travels to Seville in Spain to emerge herself in flamenco and feels deeply moved by the raw expression of flamenco singing, in which she recognizes both deep sadness and intense joy of life. A couple of years later she moves to Barcelona (Spain) where she is accepted in the conservatory "Escuela Superior de Música de Cataluña" (ESMUC) as the first foreigner ever in flamenco singing, studying with flamenco singer José Miguel Vizcaya "Chiqui de la Linea". She currently (2014) lives, studies and works both in The Netherlands and in Spain.

With her band "Radio Luna" she builds bridges between jazz and flamenco, performing frequently in great venues like the Amsterdam "Uitmarkt" (at the Concertgebouw), pop temple Paradiso, the Vondelpark Theatre and other theaters throughout the Netherlands.

Luna performs several times in the flamenco concert series "Poco ruido y mucho duende" with flamenco singer Mayte Martín and also in Mayte Martín's concert series "Savia Nueva". She also sings in the series "Grandes Conjuntos" in concert hall L'Auditori in Barcelona with flamenco guitarist Juan Gómez "Chicuelo" and with guitarist Juan Carlos Gómez Pastor. Besides that, Luna is the singer of the flamenco trio "Ayetá" which consists furthermore of a guitarist and a dancer, and she also composes music and lyrics for her own jazz group.

Luna's voice is a reflection of all the places she travels on her journey and that enchant her with their musical styles, which still inspire her to sing and express herself without borders.
