Serena Wu - Bilingual Singer-Songwriter

Serena Wu is a multilingual singer-songwriter from Halifax, Nova Scotia, whose pop-driven music blends relatable, emotional lyrics with upbeat percussion and catchy melodies.

Her latest single, Étranger (French for "Stranger"), is available on all streaming platforms, along with an official music video. Produced, recorded, and mixed by award-winning collaborator Daniel Ledwell, the track explores the intrigue and uncertainty of falling for someone while questioning who they truly are. It starts with a staccato ukulele riff and quickly expands into a lively arrangement featuring soulful, funk-infused instrumentation. A playful bassline, shimmering guitar riffs, and a vibrant brass section provide an exciting backdrop for Serena’s dynamic voice and textured harmonies.

Serena performed with Ashley MacIsaac at the 2021 Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo and in Halifax for the 2022 Acadian National Day, where she joined him on his hit Sleepy Maggie. Last November, she was featured among artists presented by Acadian Embassy at Nova Scotia Music Week in Yarmouth, NS. Recently, she’s been working on new original songs, showcased live at venues like the Seahorse Tavern and the Emerge Festival with her band.

Étranger is the first in a series of new releases from Serena Wu, with songs in both French and English. On October 16th, she released the official video for this debut single, directed by James Turpin. Another new track, also produced by Daniel Ledwell, is set for release in the New Year.
