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.

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

I soooo scared to show the world what I feel, but at the same time I'm scared people won't like it or worse judge me for it. At the same time I feel like an idiot for caring this much about songs I wrote when no one will really hear them...
Does it make sense?

I think the instrumental is the most important thing for me, and in some ways can speak more powerfully than lyrics because it isnāt as limited by language and interpretation, and can be a more raw outlet for emotion- like Iāll often think a song is about one thing from just paying attention to the instrumental and then go on genius and feel Confused. But also a well timed line in a song can hit extremely hard and remind you of the universality of human experiences or be super funny or make you feel confident, especially if itās a song you know very well and a line you havenāt thought about much before. I have noticed that most of my favorite songs, even across genres have a similar sonic cadence and kind of gravity? If that makes sense? And that peoples favorite songs are usually attuned to a super specific wavelength that I canāt fully verbalize but encompasses their being. Sorry if thats stupid and thatās just taste but also Iām really tired.

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

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
