ILUKA shares, “‘Girl On The Run is my love story to myself. It’s about unapologetically forging your own path and following it ruthlessly even when it confuses or pisses off those around you. Ultimately being a ‘girl on the run’ is about becoming the heroine of your own life story, choosing to love yourself first and foremost, and continuing to say yes to the ride of life —no matter how crazy, wild, or uncertain the road seems.”
“Girl On The Run” came to be as ILUKA took a road trip through the desert with a friend. After stopping through Tucson, AZ, ILUKA felt inspired as she took pictures with all the cacti along the highway. She finished the lyrics from the point of view of herself and her friend as outlaw cowgirls on the run, Thelma & Louise style. The story unraveled from there, becoming an ode to leaving her previous life in Australia to create something new in the U.S.
Raised on a farm in the Blue Mountains of Australia, ILUKA learned the craft of song and soul from her father, a skilled luthier. His handmade guitars were more than instruments—they were the foundation of her sonic journey. From the start, ILUKA has been driven by a singular vision to create brave music. Her songs are both vulnerable in their storytelling and memorable in their protest. With features in Rolling Stone, FLAUNT Magazine, and NME, ILUKA’s impact is just beginning, but if she has anything to say about it, she’ll be a force that’s here to stay.
