Serena Smart ( @serenaasmart ) joins @Treyzis on the Star Blaze Music News Podcast for a conversation about finding her identity as an artist, navigating the business of music, going viral on TikTok and building a sound that is uniquely her own.Serena breaks down the making of her latest single “Group Chat,” working with Capella Grey and Wells NYC, and how years of experimenting helped her discover a lane that blends R&B, pop, opera, Broadway and Caribbean influences.She also opens up about being signed young, watching major investments being made into her career, learning to think like a businesswoman, balancing her instincts with her team’s advice and why she refuses to release music without intention.The conversation gets deeper into the realities of the music industry, being underestimated based on appearance, protecting your energy, dealing with people who switch up as you grow, and trusting God’s timing while still putting in the work.Serena also reveals the title of her next single, “Bare Face,” reflects on the viral success of “Body,” and explains why her ultimate goal isn’t simply fame — it’s becoming a household name and creating timeless music that lasts for generations.🎧 Stream “Group Chat” now.FOLLOW SERENA SMARThttps://www.instagram.com/serenaasmart/FOLLOW TREYZIShttps://www.instagram.com/treyzis/FOLLOW STAR BLAZE MUSIC NEWShttps://www.instagram.com/starblazemusicnews/Subscribe to SBMN for artist interviews, live performances, music conversations and more.
