LuNika
Iranian-German siblings Luca Nodjoumi (bass/piano/vox) and Nika Nodjoumi (drums/guitar/vox) are LuNika, a brother-sister band from Brooklyn. Cooped up at home during the pandemic, the siblings used the lockdown to experiment with music and write their first original songs. In 2021, at ages 11 and 13, they raised more than twenty-five thousand dollars on Kickstarter to record their debut album, IMAGINING, garnering national press coverage on NBC. Their album, which features 10 songs inspired by their experience as kids living through our times, was completed last fall and scheduled for a release party at iconic NYC club The Bitter End, only to be canceled by the organizers after their protest song WOMEN LIFE FREEDOM went viral.
