Sertari

UK-Cypriot singer/songwriter Sertari will be performing live alongside Cypriot group DNA.

After spending 2009 on the road playing in shows and festivals around the UK and Europe, the phenomenal vocalist and songwriter Sertari was nominated for "BEST LIVE ACT 09" and "BEST SONG" in the EMA Awards. With a live show that is fast developing a reputation for it's high-octane crowd-involvement, she is currently about to embark on live shows in the UK, US and Europe - including a huge charity show at Ministry of Sound in London, and a New Years tour of her native Cyprus – alongside a busy schedule of TV and radio appearances. This will be followed by live shows and TV appearances in the US and Europe in early 2011.

Sertari is not your ordinary singer/songwriter; she is a performer and writer with a passion for performing on stage and getting the crowd immersed in her show. Born in the UK to a Cypriot family, she was brought up in a quiet town in Hampshire where the closest thing to the Mediterranean is Costa Coffee. Using the stage as an outlet, she has shown the drive and ability to achieve big things. Her father Nicolas was a singer and is one of her biggest inspirations and influences, and as a result she has taken on his stage name (Nicolas Sertari) - and her song "Beautiful Day" is about how her parents have inspired her music. As a person, she is very positive and charismatic, and she has that unique ability to light up a room when she enters. Her positive, “can-do” attitude is very much reflected in her music, with uplifting lyrics and messages imbedded in each song.

From a young age she has been extremely active in the music scenes in the UK and Europe, and has has several releases distributed worldwide. She has also achieved worldwide press, radio play and TV exposure. This, accompanied with her unique worldwide appeal has helped propel her exceptional talent to fans across the globe.
Sertari has worked and performed with producers and artists such as Adrian Hall (Z management), Ben Knight (Metamorphic), Peter Wright (Nettworks), Scratch from the Roots, Don Es (NY), Dubbledge (UK), Former Fat Boys (USA) and DNA (CY)...and is currently working alongside some of the top producers on some new material ready for 2010, including brand new songs with the likes of JIvy (who has worked with Kay-Z and Kanye West) and Akil from Jurassic 5.

As well as her musical skills, she is also a highly skilled martial artist - so she may look petite - but this girl pack a punch and not just with her vocals.
