Bio: If pressure is all it takes to form a diamond, then Seria is a sparkling jewel on the horizon of success. After a lifetime of triumph and heartbreak, the gifted singer/songwriter has found her rhythm and groove as a solo artist on her first album release “Something Different.”
A musician from birth (saxophone and piano), Seria also grew up singing. She was an introverted and shy child, who at the tender age of 4 began expressing herself through performing arts by organizing, rehearsing and producing plays and musicals for her parents and relatives using her siblings and friends as cast members.
Born with Albinism, an inherited condition that inhibits pigment in the eyes, skin and hair, Seria had a rough time as a child and was frequently a victim of both bullying and cruelty. “I was the tallest, skinniest girl in the class with the thickest glasses ever. And I had scoliosis, so I had a back brace. They used to call me Skippy because my hair was the color of peanut butter.” Needless to say, childhood was torture for Seria, and from that pain she wrote some of her best music.
The turning point in Seria’s music career came while she was attending Midland Lutheran College. Flat broke and needing a new pair of tennis shoes, Seria and Lawrence decided to enter the student talent show, which had a prize of $100. “We didn’t even have an act.” That night, she belted out a haunting accapella rendition of Toni Braxton’s “Love Should Have Brought You Home.” Suddenly the crowd of 300-400 students began clapping and singing along and cheering her name! It took the judges several times of calling out their names before they realized that they had won! “We were amazed.” That was Seria’s first taste of performing in front of an audience.
In 2000, she began to take her songwriting more seriously. “Freak,” a dance tune featured on her first album, was the first song she ever wrote. In 2001, Seria auditioned for Tampa Bay Idol and was chosen third place out of 3,000 contestants. Once again, reaffirming that she had something to musically to say.
Her final push into the business came at the 2004 Winter Music Conference in Miami. During a panel discussion featuring Wayne Williams of Jive Records (Jesse Saunders’ brother), , Seria asked, “what if you are a good singer, but you don’t have anyone to produce you?” Someone from the audience yelled, “if you’re such a good singer, then sing a song for us now!” Without missing a beat, Seria began to sing through the thunderous laughter. As she hit the high notes in “You Mean the World to Me,” the room went silent. When the song was finished, she was rushed by producers, one of which was
With her second single “Body Heat”scheduled for release this fall,this spring Seria’s musical future is at an all time high. But, experience has taught her that life is a balancing act. No matter what happens in my life, no matter who or what I become, music will always be a part of it. I couldn’t live without my music.
