Luna Bators had always been captivated by the raw, emotive quality of Twenty One Pilots' music. When she decided to do a cover of “Heathens” on her ukulele, she wanted to infuse it with her own style while honoring the original's essence. She spent hours perfecting the arrangement, adding subtle, haunting touches that she felt would complement the song's dark, edgy vibe.
Once she was satisfied with the final take, she recorded a video of herself playing and singing the song. Luna's rendition was both delicate and powerful, showcasing her unique voice and musicality. With a touch of nervous excitement, she uploaded the video and sent it directly to Tyler Joseph, hoping that he might appreciate her interpretation.
A few days later, Luna received a reply. Tyler Joseph, known for his deep engagement with fans and their creative endeavors, had watched her cover and was genuinely impressed. In his response, Tyler praised her for her unique approach and heartfelt performance. He mentioned that he loved how she used the ukulele to bring a fresh perspective to the song and appreciated her dedication to capturing the song's spirit.
Tyler also invited Luna to a virtual meet-and-greet, where they could discuss her music and his own work in more depth. Luna was thrilled and took the opportunity to thank him personally for the encouragement. The conversation deepened her appreciation for Twenty One Pilots and inspired her even more as she continued working on her own music and her upcoming album.
