Christina Gerasimova

Simple, sincere lyrics and arrangements in the spirit of the 90s - according to American Vogue, this is what the "face of the Ukrainian musical revolution" looks like. The publication assigned this status to Kristina Gerasimova from Kiev, acting under the pseudonym Luna. Her songs were not rotated on the radio, and the clips were not broadcast on TV. Luna's art has become popular thanks to the Internet. At the same time, the artist herself declares that she does not consider herself an indie project.

The real name of the singer is Christina Gerasimova (at the time of marriage - Bardash). She was born on 28 August 1990 in the German Democratic Republic, where her father was serving at the time. The family lived in the town of Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitz) for 2 years, after which they moved to Ukraine. The Gerasimovs settled in Kiev.

Together with her younger sister Alina, Kristina studied at school number 53 in Kiev, having time to study choreography after lessons. As a child, Christina attended folk dances, later ballet, to which she gave 6 years. Then the girl changed dancing to music. At the school of arts for two years she studied solfeggio, vocals, attended the choir and took guitar lessons.

At the age of 12, on a voucher, Christina ended up in a children's camp in Cuba. For the girl, this was the first experience of a long stay away from her parents, which she did not fail to take advantage of. In an interview, the celebrity admitted:

However, Christina did not immediately take up her own project. The girl entered the Faculty of Journalism and, in parallel with her studies, helped to realize the creative potential of other artists.

Gerasimova acted as a photographer, director, poetess, and also an actress. Due to her wonderful figure and high growth (182 cm with a weight of 68 kg), she participated in projects as a model more than once. Christina starred in videos for the songs "You are so beautiful", "Forget everything", "Beat", which are performed by the Quest Pistols group. Luna also filmed a video for the Nerves group, performers Julia Nelson, KATYA, Noggano.

Christina was married. Her ex-husband is a producer, co-owner of the Kruzheva Music company, a member of the Mushrooms group, Yuri Bardash. The hit "The Ice Melts" is dedicated to the Moon.

In 2012, the couple had a son, George. At the time, the family lived in Los Angeles. Christina describes this period of her biography contradictory:

The life of the moon entered a calm channel after writing the first album. As the artist admits, a friend sent it. The girl became interested in the connection of man with natural cycles, space, ways to control her energy.

In the spring of 2019, the singer suddenly decided to tell the audience about the reasons for her divorce. In an interview with the Gentle Editor YouTube channel, she admitted that Yuri Bardash beat her, humiliated and tormented her with scenes of jealousy. The husband, although he was a producer, acutely perceived many of Christina's working moments, for example, the abundance of attention from fans, the need to pose in a swimsuit or lingerie, and go on stage in revealing outfits. Luna admitted that for years she was "led on his manipulation", but gradually came to the conclusion that this is an unhealthy relationship and she needs changes in her personal life.

Christina recorded her first demo when she was 14 years old. While studying at school, and then at university, the young Ukrainian wrote poetry and music, but did not consider it necessary to demonstrate her creativity to the public. The first performance took place only in 2015: the artist took part in the Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Days, and a year later presented her first album "Mag-ni-you".

The scale of the first concert made too strong an impression on the performer: Christina took a break in songwriting and focused on performances. Following the capital of Ukraine, concerts of the Eclipse tour took place in Riga, Yekaterinburg, Moscow.

In the songs of the first album "Boy, You Are Snow", "Bottle", "Bambi", the melancholic mood and pop sounding in the style of the 90s, characteristic of Luna's work, were immediately identified. Critics compare her music with the work of Linda, Natalia Vetlitskaya, and the "Guests from the Future" group. The singer herself names Glass Animals, Lana Del Rey, Bjork, Angelica Varum, Bachelor Party, Guests from the Future, Shura among her favorite performers. Luna also sympathizes with Russian rock - the groups Nautilus Pompilius, Agatha Christie, Moral Code, Zemfira. She defines her genre as “soulful pop”.

At the end of 2016, Luna released a mini-album "Sad Dance". The disc became a successful debut, on the first day it took 1st place in iTunes Ukraine and second in iTunes Russia and iTunes Armenia.

In 2017, the singer released her second album, "The Island of Freedom". Three out of eight tracks were presented earlier during the year - "Bullets", "Ogonyok", "Friend". The video for the song "Ogonyok" turned out to be the most massive video in the assets of the Moon: more than 50 people got into the frame. For 6 months, the clip has collected a million views on YouTube. The songs Jukebox and Free love became hits.

It is noteworthy that in the first videos, Luna not only thought over the plot and style, but also tried to control the technical side:

In the future, the singer agreed to delegate these responsibilities to directors. This, however, does not exclude the participation of the Moon in the creation of the script and the elaboration of images.

In 2018, the songs of the performer "Boy, You Snow", "Choker" and Free Love became part of the official soundtrack for Ivan Tverdovsky's film "Podbrosy". Also, her composition "The Bloody Well" sounded in one of the series of the "Gogol" project dedicated to the great writer.

In the summer of 2019, the singer released the single "Dolphins", and later presented the premiere of the video of the same name, which was filmed in Bali. In the frame, the Moon is dancing in red gloves, and the second heroine of the video is experiencing the collapse of her love on the ocean shore.

"Dolphins" were included in the new album "Trance", another song from it - "Lilac Paradise" - Luna sang on the air of the program "Evening Urgant". The disc became the fourth in the artist's discography.
