Background
Camila Luna (born Camila Barbeito) began her life in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and moved to Miami, Florida, at the age of 3. She is a student and teaching assistant at University of Miami's Master in Fine Arts program at the Miami College of Arts & Sciences.[3]
According to People en Español, Luna wrote her first poem, "The Snowflake", at the age of five, which was published in a children's poetry magazine.[4] She credits her uncle for teaching her how to play the guitar aged 15.[4] Her first two albums, Flamboyán (2014) and Flora y Fauna (2017), both earned nominations from the Latin Grammys.[5] Without a budget, she filmed the music video for Flamboyán on her iPhone, in her grandmother's backyard, in Puerto Rico.[1][6] The single Siento, from Flora y Fauna, had 3.2 million spins on Spotify as of October 4, 2017.[5]
