Having body confidence is a big one for me too!
I want to start posting my body more, for sure. I saw Lola Young post a Tik Tok of her in a bikini in Mexico and itās so inspiring! She looks natural & amazing!
Mine favourite compliment was given yesterday when I was performing at a huge festival in Wales. It was a small stage, I only did one set and I forgot some of the lyrics to my first 2 songs which are only half baked. But the third song got a lot of attention š„° Two ladies came up to me & said I was the Welsh BeyoncĆ© š„³ Said they feel like theyād witnessed a star in the making. Slowly building the confidence to do the main stage of the next festival!
I didnāt pursue my music career until I was 30, self doubt got in the way, being bulliedā¦ trauma, anxiety & the fear of being seen. Itās a very vulnerable space being an artist. Itās also hard work!
But I told myself I wouldnāt be happy in life unless I did it. And now I can say Iām a solo, performing artist at major festivals š„¹š

i was a theater kid growing up. i loved it for a long time, it felt right to express myself through song and dance, but it felt like such a chore when i got older. i hated the idea of performing something i couldn't relate to and doing things that felt so incredibly mundane and uninteresting. truly, i had lost my real voice trying to do whatever everyone was telling me to.
last night, i had the opportunity to sing live in front of a live audience for the first time in four years. it was incredible. i got to share with complete strangers a song that means so much to me, in an outfit and a makeup look i designed all by myself, surrounded by 8 other amazing performers. it was the most genuine, fufilling and vulnerable feeling i've experienced in so long, and it was so cathartic. i felt respected for what i love doing.
all that is to say: it's corny, but it's worth it to push aside the opinions of others and just do whatever you want. people really do crave the vulnerability in that.
thanks for listening :)

Today decided to submit some of my songs to music review lives on Tik Tok for Promo.
i didnāt stay for most of them except for one.
When my song came on after a bunch of others songs ,that fit the predictable mold of the music out right now, the guy didnāt know what so say
I left him speechless
Then i remember that people didnāt know what to think of Bowie, Kanye, Travis, or Cudi.
I truly believe iām on track
anyways gonna keep making dope sh-

Itās scary to share your art, especially when you put so much of yourself in it
itās scary to be vulnerable and to be judged for the work that you do
But at the end of the day, you make your art for yourself, and people sharing in that is just a bonus
I am nervous and terrified whenever I release new music, whenever I get up on stage, whenever I put anything new into the world, especially when it has my face, my name or my voice attached to it
But honestly, as long as I like the work that Iāve done, then everything else is secondary

So many emotions. So much vulnerability put out into the world to share with others.
Fear of being seenā¦ judgement.
Sometimes itās totally miserable and itās hard to believe that someone else could enjoy or relate to that feeling and that music.
But, I have to remember that one persons pain is anotherās pleasure in some strange way and that we all need to be sad and embrace that feeling sometimes.
Being a songwriter is about being able to say or convey feelings and experiences in a way that someone knew they felt, but couldnāt express! Itās about connection and letting others knew they are not alone.
Iāve always loved hearing a song and thinking āthatās exactly how I feel! I couldnāt have put those words and that imagery together better myselfā! Itās amazing when we can hop on someone elseās frequency and their emotional-visual experience.

My birth name is Sarah, but I woke up one day & felt it was too close to Satan. So being Welsh & speaking the language, I changed it to the more unique Welsh version - Sera.
Both version of my name mean Princess or āA giftā. And yes I bloody well am!
Thatās why my artist name is Seraphyre. Itās mixup of:
Samphire (I grew up by the ocean & love her)
Serotonin (Iām a coaching psychologist)
Sera (Iām a fucking princess/gift)
Seraphim (fiery celestial beings)
I reckon:
Samphire - reps the Scorpio Sun in me
Serotonin - the airy intellectual Libra Moon
Seraphim - the fiery Leo rising within me
My surname looks elegant af, but it means farmer. Common in Louisiana where my grandfather was born & raised, I always help people pronounce it in the UK by rhyming it as:
Sera Boudreaux - like - Marilyn Monroe š
My true first name is Sera-Louise. Itās cute and Louise means Warrior, but itās also longwinded.
Cool fact, I 3 different classes/occupations by Name!
Sera - Royalty
Louise - Warrior
Boudreaux - Farmer
