Hello, I'm Singer/Songwriter and artist, Serina Jung, (Jung is a German name, pronounced "Young" in English). Being an independent artist is an incredible journey and privilege and has resulted in the release of three independent albums: self-titled 1999 debut which was an artistic collaboration with friend, Eric Bernard; 2003's Sparrows was a solo production with some folk-leaning sensibilities; STARRY NIGHT: Lullabies For Little Ones, is a minimally produced album, originally intended for only my own children, but friends wanted copies so I released it to the world in 2010. After a long hiatus from recording and performing, I've opted to release singles in lieu of a full album which you'll find on my music page.
As my folk art portfolio continues to grow, you can expect to see a marriage of art, poetry and prose in the near future in my first book, and cool artist merch in the storefront very soon.

Here's what was written about me by a kind and generous writer friend:
“Serina has received positive press and has earned several nominations and awards for both her songwriting and her performances, including a certificate of honorable mention from UniSong and from Billboard's World Songwriting Competition. She has performed in Canada and the U.S.A, at clubs and festivals, including Festival Labatt Blues, The Deland Original Music Fest, Calliopefest and Mount Dora Festival for the Arts, and has opened for national recording artists Tom Kimmel, the late Rachel Bissex, and The Little River Band, with blues/R&B powerhouse, Ruth King. Stylistically hard to define, you can expect to hear music that blends Pop, Folk and Adult Contemporary, driven by simple melodies and lyrics based on the real-life sentiments of ordinary, yet extraordinary, people. Many comparisons to Joan Baez, Mary Chapin-Carpenter, Eva Cassidy and Janis Ian make Serina's sound a challenge to really define; perhaps, because in her own way, she is a unique, modern storyteller.” - Gerry Lipnowski
