LUAN PARLE
Luan Parle was born in Wicklow, Ireland in the mid eighties
She comes from a musical family. Her father is a musician as are her brothers. Her brother John is the drummer with Irish band Leopold who toured with James brown just before his death and have recently toured with Thin Lizzy. Luan's confidence as a singer came from the training her father gave to the children who sang at Sunday Mass at her local church
Luan's first recording came in the form of a cassette at age eleven which featured four tracks including two written by the youngster titled "I Look up to the Sky" and "Little Children" - Following on from which Luan released her first album at age twelve appropriately titled "First Impressions"
At this point Luan was presented with the opportunity of a lifetime. A Nashville scout, attracted by the profile that the now thirteen year old Luan had been building up, offered her the opportunity to head off to the U.S. with a full recording contract
Luan's deal with her parents didn't stop her playing and performing wherever she could, and settling down to continue writing her own songs.
Luan continued writing and over the next couple of years gained invaluable experience when asked to play as special guest to Elton John and to tour with the emerging James Blunt
She also worked in the US and UK with legendary producers: Bill Bottrell & Chris Kimsey.
Those couple of years were crazy times, which led to Luan growing up very quickly. Luan saw the bright and the dark side of the music industry firsthand. She witnessed the hedonistic and the sensible. She was amazed at the drink and drug culture that existed but avoided partaking whilst witnessing many mainly background and wannabee people destroy themselves. She resolved to never take that route herself. However she explains that it is very easy to understand why some people in the industry fall in to the trap of addiction. Some mistakenly believe it helps with creativity. Some use alcohol and drugs to calm nerves and others to retain or regain the high they get from performing. Luan is at pains to point out that she is not critical of these people and accepts it as being part of the business. She gets her natural high from performing and doesn't feel the need for anything else to substitute that feeling.
The experience she was gaining working with the cream of producers and session musicians was invaluable in taking Luan to a level where she could and often did co-produce her work
Luan then hooked up with UK producer Stephen Lironi -- Altered Images, Lloyd Cole etc. to create the album "Free"
This was swiftly followed by the 2007 Meteor Award for "Best Irish Female Artist" and the album was short listed to the final three (with Snow Patrol & Duke Special) at Northern Irelands "Big Buzz" Entertainment Industry Awards. Luan won an award at the lavish Belfast ceremony for "Most Stylish Female Entertainer"
Somewhat disillusioned with a lack of concert dates Luan decided to set out on a self financed national tour. What started as 10 dates in May 2007 finished as 50 dates in November 2007. A big intentional part of the tour was performances in Arts Theatres nationwide where no age restrictions applied. This tied in with another passion of Luan's. To coincide with these concerts she provided secondary school song writing workshops and invariably had students guest for her at the shows. The tour was a huge success
In amongst the general tour dates Luan guested for INXS, toured with Nanci Griffith, Played the Midlands Music Festival, Headlined the Oxjam charity gigs in Dublin and Belfast and headlined the Marie Keating Foundation fundraiser in the Hard Rock Café, all to great acclaim. Nanci and her band stood side stage for her set each night on the tour and they could not believe she was not a huge name in America. INXS said they were "blown away" by her performance
Luan is very close to reaching her next goal, which is to break America. There is a lot of interest from various labels / management companies / Publishers etc. and a decision on the best course of action is under careful consideration
America is calling and, a still young, Luan now has the experience to add to her undoubted talent. One major player in the US has said: "Luan is the TOTAL package. A Stunning voice, amazing song writing, sultry and sexy good looks, wonderful personality, an absolute focus on her goals and the wiliness to work tirelessly to reach them.
This time next year Luan Parle could well be a global household name.
