Following a busy couple of years Sertari has been diving into the world of Karnataka. After being announced as their new lead vocalist in 2018 Sertari has been busy writing with fellow Karnataka band member and founder Ian Jones which saw their first album release 'Requiem for a Dream' with Sertari as their vocalist in 2023.'Requiem for a dream' was given top accolades and saw Sertari voted best Vocalist of the year from ProgRock.com. After a very successful album tour in 2023 they are set to go back out on the road in 2024 on an impressive 20 date UK/EU follow up tour.
In-between her busy schedule Sertari is currently working on her own solo album with partner Ben K who co-writes, drums and producers on her works. Her recent singles taking on a more mature sound 'Asylum' and 'Break my heart in two' were released with Mayfield Records.
Sertari is a singer, songwriter and artist with a passion for both creating music and live performance. Born in the UK to a Cypriot family, she was brought up in a quiet town where the closest thing to the Mediterranean is Costa Coffee. With a very diverse range of musical influences from pop king Michael Jackson to rock legend Led Zeppelin. The unique vocal and the artistry of Kate Bush to Symphonic mental titans Nightwish and Within Temptation. Sertari is not shy when it comes to music genres and feels a successful songwriter needs to amerce themselves into a varied pallet of sounds and techniques.
Sertari uses the stage as an outlet and has consistently shown the ambition to develop her own unique blend of emotive electro pop-rock with beautiful yet powerful vocals, driving guitars, atmospheric synths and big beats.
Her live show has earned a reputation among audiences for it's high energy levels demonstrating her vast vocal range and dynamic qualities. Past performances include the London Olympic Fan Zones, Hard Rock Cafe Cyprus and London Fashion Week - whilst her personal favorite (and most rock’n’roll story) comes from her headline televised show in the Cyprus Capital, Nicosia, on New Years Eve to thousands of people.
Sertari has been lucky enough to have worked and performed with a variety of producers and artists, including Adrian Hall from Z- Management (Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys), Grammy Winner J-Ivy (Jay-Z, Kanye West), and Pete Craigie (Take That, Beverley Knight, Stevie Wonder).
