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.

Toronto’s Harris Institute to Close After Nearly 40 Years: ‘We’ve Had a Good Run’

The long-running music school's decision is reportedly a result of the provincial government's changes to post-secondary education, including visa restrictions for international students and the elimination of grants for private college students.

In December, Toronto’s Harris Institute close its doors. The Canadian music education institution, located at 118 Sherbourne Street, will cease operations after 37 years.

According to the organization, the decision follows major changes to the Ontario government’s post-secondary education plans, including the restriction of student visas for private colleges, the Ontario Student Assistance Program’s (OSAP) freeze on student loan payments and the elimination of grants for private college students.
