We caught up with the brilliant and insightful LunaverSol a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

LunaverSol, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What did your parents do right and how has that impacted you in your life and career?

My parents were patient and very encouraging with mine and my siblings artistic progression. Anything we wanted to pursue, they would always do everything in their power to help us become as successful as we wanted to become at it. They spent the time with us practicing and listing to notes being played out of key until I’m sure their patience were ran, but they never asked us to quit or give up, they always just encouraged us to stick with whatever it was we were trying to accomplish musically. They would provide the materials, the lessons, and all we had to do was apply ourselves. They just wanted to see us be able to do things that would bring us happiness, really. I am extremely blessed for Creator to have let them be my family.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I appreciate the use of the word discipline because in order to create a business out of music, one must maintain a degree of discipline throughout different parts of their journey. What brought me into music was my family and the life that naturally lifted me into the craft. I live in the forest so everything is music in a way here, additionally I grew up and reside in Southeastern Kentucky and I began playing bluegrass music with my family. As I continued, my sound developed and I began to realize how expansive everything in life was. This growing mindset & experiences along the way allowed me many realizations, especially in recent years and despite my “following” I’m aware that I’m on a path is not only for myself, its much bigger than me, whatever it is that I’m here to do, so I keep disciplined & steady, to take care of myself, my path and surrounding community.

As far as services I offer: I’m an artist, so most of it is art-centric like singing, guitar, piano, fiddle and working on the bass :) I do branding, design, drawing, painting, sculpting.
I genuinely enjoy singing and playing at plant medicine ceremonies if I’m familiar enough with the hosts.
As far as the tech service, I offer; website curation & design, NFT consultation, and website & NFT management.
I also sell teas and herbs from where I live & merchandise on my website :)

Currently what I’m most proud of as an artist is simply being at a place where I’m learning myself to the point that its beginning to show through my music. I’m writing from a more authentic space now that I’m starting to get to know myself better and what I truly enjoy and what genuinely feels right to say. Not that my songs before were ingenue, its just coming from a more solid place now and I’ve really been enjoying getting more familiar with that feeling.

As a person I am proud of my horse, maybe its silly I dont know, lol you see him in videos and on instagram and things, his name is Poseidon :) my dad and I raised and trained him together and its been quite the journey itself, but he’s turned out amazing, I show him in horse shows and things, he does good :)

How can we best help foster a strong, supportive environment for artists and creatives?

Personally, don’t feel like its society’s responsibly to support anyone else on their creative mission, truly. What I do find important and is probably the best way for a creative ecosystem to thrive, is when supportive correspondence naturally occurs. If you think about it, when art ignites someones soul or has affected their life somehow, they tend to want to share that experience with others without thinking about anything other than how great the artwork is. Another example is how we send the apple music link to our friends, or post our Spotify playing the song on our social media stories, making playlists for your significant other. I feel like the best way that society can support other artists is just loving it if they love it, putting others onto it if they genuinely want to and letting it grow from there. That excitement creates real connection and becomes an energetic boost to the intrinsic ways of creating, learning, and sharing art.

What do you think is the goal or mission that drives your creative journey?

This year I was blessed to be able to discover a few focal points of the LunaverSol mission. Ive learned what I’m able to give and of that, what I personally want to give to the world. I’ve recently decided on the first mission statement of the LunaverSol brand.. (Empire, if you will lol) which is “raising the self-efficacy of the world (as my dear freind Kellz would say,) two ears at a time, & one soul at a time.” Something I’ve noticed is that, given the right encouragement, humans are AMAZING beings, capable of truly anything we desire. We’ve created incredible structures, achieved the miracle of flight, written songs to open the minds of entire generations, and experiences like we’ve never dreamed possible. The Cirque du Soleil I think is a pinnacle example of the pure magic that exists within the capabilities of the human being or humans being. Wether you’re only one person or moving as a collective, the impact of any one being or beings with self-efficacy is nearly unstoppable and massive and has the opportunity to be so beautiful. Now just imagine if everyone in the world understood how unlimited success is and genuinely believed in their ability to do anything they set their mind to with good intentions, discipline and consistency overtime. I dont know, I just dont think that would hurt. So thats my drive! and to Protect the Earth <3 .. yeah :)
