She would like to do without the famous surname in her career. Dieter Landuris’ daughter is now taking off with music and comedy.
Isabella Luna has made a name for herself with music parodies. Since then, nearly a million followers have embraced her comic talent on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
But that alone is no longer enough for the daughter of the actor Dieter Landuris (61). Now she is busy working on her music career. With the song “In my next life I would like to be a man” she made fun of gender stereotypes and conquered even more fans.
In “Yalla Bye Bye” she then musically poked fun at the “data” on the internet, and recently with “Cringe” Song number three released. “This time it’s about embarrassing moments, but you don’t say embarrassing anymore, you just cringe,” says the 31-year-old when she met BZ in one of her favorite cafés in Schöneberg.
She also has an example ready: “When you walk around all day with a spinach leaf on your tooth and nobody says anything.” Isabella Luna wants to be authentic with her songs and always incorporates her own experiences. She laughs and says, “Everything that’s happened to me just screamed out to be used as comedy.”

Even as a child, the artist knew what she wanted to be. The famous dad was probably not entirely innocent: “When I was a child, I often went to my father’s film and theater premieres or saw him on television. He was already a role model.”
Nevertheless, she went her own way, only under her two real first names: Isabella Luna, without Landuris. She started with dance and choreography, made music and eventually built her own social media channels.
“I had phases where my videos really went through the roof overnight and got millions of clicks,” she recalls. “But my father taught me that no matter how successful you are as a person, you shouldn’t change. Because pride often comes before a fall.”
Although born in Munich, Isabella Luna describes herself as a Berliner. “We moved here when I was about 14. I think that’s the most formative time at that age,” she says with certainty. “Of course, moving was not easy at first. But I quickly learned to love Berlin.”
Her gaze is directed through the shop window onto Goltzstrasse. Then she says with satisfaction: “The city has certainly contributed a lot to my making music and comedy today.”
