Serabee has come a long way from her days of sneaking out of her Kiln, Mississippi childhood home to explore the vibrant music scene in New Orleans. “Music is in my blood, and the road I’ve traveled can’t help but form my music,” says the singer/songwriter. Singing since the age of five, Serabee became part of her Preacher father’s touring band almost before she could read – performing across America’s fertile spiritual-crescent with her four siblings and mother in tow. With an eye on developing her own secular music career after building a buzz on the New Orleans scene, Serabee began to bend her musical horizons even further. She ultimately landed a deal with Universal Republic, and she cites influences ranging from Prince and Ray Charles to Aretha Franklin and Sam Cooke that helped craft her new EP. In addition to her soulful voice, Serabee boasts impressive songwriting skills (Charlotte Church’s #1 single “Crazy Chick”) as well as outstanding chops on a Hammond B3 organ and piano.

The fiery blond is quickly rising to the top as she was just named a New Artist To Watch by Clear Channel and an About To Pop Artist by AOL Music. With the release of her SERABEE EP today on iTunes and the recent premiere of the video for “Driving Me Stupid,” it is the perfect time to get to know this budding star. Watch a brand new interview to learn more about Serabee’s life growing up in Mississippi, her musical background and how she landed a record deal.

Serabee’s single “Driving Me Stupid” is currently featured as the free Single of the Week on iTunes.
