Luna Li has made her late night debut.

Yesterday (Oct. 29), the Toronto-born, Los Angeles-based artist, born Hannah Bussiere Kim, took the stage to play harp with indie singer Lucy Dacus on The Daily Show.


Dacus performed the track “Modigliani” from her most recent album, Forever is a Feeling, released earlier this year on Matador Records. The track highlights airy piano chords and ethereal strings while Dacus sings of deeply interconnected platonic love.

Kim took to Instagram to share her excitement about her late night appearance and informed followers that she brought her string instrument talents to Dacus for multiple songs on the album.

“I played some harp on Lucy’s latest record ‘Forever is a Feeling,’ and was so happy when she invited me to perform ‘Modigliani’ live with her 🌱💌,” she wrote. “She’s one of the kindest, most discerning, down to earth, and welcoming artists i’ve gotten to play with and her crew is amazing too :’).”

The Billboard Canada Women in Music 2025 honouree played harp on two Forever is a Feeling tracks, including “Modigliani” and “Come Out.”

Earlier this year, Dacus shared with Junkee that Kim’s contributions to “Come Out” helped the track maintain its spot on the record, despite almost being removed entirely.

“I almost cut because it felt like the melody was a little repetitive, or it's like, really wordy. The reason I didn't cut it was we actually had a harpist come in on the very last day and add a bunch of harp. Her name's Luna Li. It kind of saved the song,” she shared.
