News: Sereena’s debut EP 1of 3 will be releasing

and “Coachella”. Check out this video teaser of the song ‘Love
You Again’. While on YouTube so make sure you subscribe
to Sereena’s channel.
Since Sereena’s birth in Greenville, Ohio she has been singing. She has no idea when it started or why it happened, it was just something that Sereena did. Her early performances were captured on home video, he earliest was at the age of one, performing and singing from her high-chair.
After college
Sereena, at the age of twenty two, moved to Nashville.

what I was doing. I had no job, no money, and no experience. I was so
ready.” Source: except from Sereena Elizabeth Website
Sereena admits she
struggled emotionally and didn’t sing for the first two years she
lived in Nashville. Life took over and she became a salve to money.
This slavery taught Sereena about herself. Sereena’s music depicts
the trails and errors she faced then and facing now.
I emailed Sereena
and asked her since the bio on her official
website was so short if she wanted to add some to it. Her answer
was that of honesty and brilliance.
“I wanted that
bio to be very simple. It covers my life for the most part. I'm just
a confused, twenty-something who is chained down by thoughts and
fears of what others think. Every day I get stronger and more
confident. Every day I get closer to my dream! Every day is also a
struggle. Not trying to be poetic at all, just trying to show you
where I'm at right now in life. I know a bio is more about your past
and how you got to where you are, but I'm still climbing the steep
and dangerous mountain. I'm not there yet.”
At this time
Sereena doesn’t have any solo gigs book. However you can find her
playing at writer’s nights across Nashville. Also she is in the
process of planning a release party for August to celebrate the
second EP drop. Stay tuned to Live Laugh Love Nashville as we will
keep you abreast of the specifics once they are announced. The

Besides Sereena
writing songs and singing them she is a photographer, capturing life
through the lens of a camera is a passion of hers. Sereena got her
first camera around the age of ten. It was an immediate love. She
could catch so many shots of so many different things. The sky was
literally the limit with her camera. She tells Love Laugh Nashville:
“It has always
been a hobby of mine but I have just recently picked it up on a more
serious level. It’s a great way to meet new people, form
relationships, be creative (actually have prints to touch versus the
music that you hear) and help people create memories.”
Since then Sereena
has participated on photo shoots with friends a couple times but just
recently started thinking she could actually do this for a living.
Sereena purchased a professional camera and headed out, shooting
anything. Sereena started taking photos every day and eventually got
hired to do her first wedding, newborn shoot, musician shoot, promo
shoot and band shoot.
