Vinny Lunar

Vinny Lunar is an artist reborn. Making music that seamlessly fuses R&B, electronica, and South-Asian melodies, the Indian-Australian musician shatters stereotypes, and rewrites the clichéd narratives about what it means to be South Asian making music in Australia. Born in India and having lived in Germany and Sweden, Vinny’s sound reflects the diversity of his identity and influences, ranging from Motown soul to the iconic film scores of AR Rahman that characterised Bollywood’s 90s musical renaissance. After a series of R&B and electro-tinged releases spanning from 2013, Vinny’s current music speaks about his cultural upbringing with pride. Dancing between his native tongue Telugu, Hindi and English in his releases, Vinny now fully embraces the third culture identity that was once a source of isolation. The release of ‘Prema’ in 2020 signified a pivotal and natural shift in his sound, reflecting an affinity with his motherland that has continued throughout the upcoming 5 track EP Chauffeur, a collaboration with producer Low Beams. Switching up from dulcet melodies to hard-hitting hip hop flows, his latest songs joyfully evoke his Indian heritage. Coming full circle, the endless array of film and Hindustani cassette tapes that characterised long drives during his childhood are now enmeshed into his sonic DNA, but with a decidedly modern twist. Adapting. Evolving. Assuming form. Vinny Lunar is more confident and evolved than ever before. Stay tuned.
