Section 36 Music has another visitor! Serena Z is an incredibly talented singer, and I was so glad that she agreed to visit with us and discuss her music, her goals, and more. I’m sure you’ll love everything she has to say.
So, let's see what happens when Serena Z visits Section 36!
You will soon be releasing your debut EP “Absence of Color”. What can you tell me about it?
I have never been more excited to release a piece of work. This EP has truly lived and breathed with me. I have spent so much time with it. It changed with me, it moved with me. It really represents who I am and how I function.
Do you have a favorite song from the EP?
I don't like to pick favorites but, Pink and Blue makes me feel some type of way. Put that on and close your eyes and boom, you're transported. Wherever your mind goes, it will take you. It's pretty crazy.
Who or what would you consider to be your biggest musical influences?
Man, I adore Gaga. I think the fearlessness she owns is insane. Very inspiring. I live for David Bowie. How one person could own so many different personas.. that's powerful.
You’re a graduate of Berklee College of Music. What’s the most important thing that did for your career?
Well, without Berklee I would not have created everything I have created. I've never been a "school person". My grades were always horrendous, never really cared for any of it. I got my full ride at Berklee and I was like..whoa. This is serious. I don't know where I would be without that.
Other than COVID, what would you say is your biggest career challenge?
I'm a major perfectionist. I think if I wasn't, I'd have five times the amount of music I have out. But I think that's what makes everything I do so special to me. It's so perfectly crafted to my liking. By the time it's out, it's my baby. I love it.
What are your immediate career goals?
The releases aren't going to stop any time soon. I have another single coming out September 19th. It's a game changer. Really switching up my sound and making something so new and exciting. Definitely keep an eye out for that. And to all my independent artists out there, this is our time to build each other up. We need to show some serious support, especially now. It's time to push that music out there and shamelessly promote everything we do. Sending Love.
