SERA
ABOUT/AMDAN
A pianist, guitar player and a singer-songwriter, SERA (Sera Zyborska) has been writing, recording and performing in both English and Welsh for a while. Over the last couple of years, SERA has spent time in the studio working and writing with producer Andi Crutwell-Jones, looking at the real stories she wanted to tell with a sound that matched her ambition. The result is a collection of songs inspired by anxiety, love, nostalgia, ancestry, witches, ships and lost worlds. It's all there.
Having grown up in Caernarfon, North Wales, a place steeped in history, culture, between the Snowdonia Mountains and the Irish sea, you could understand her love of folklore and how landscape is a big source of inspiration behind her music.
SERA was selected as a BBC Horizons artist for 2019-2020, and played a live session in the legendary BBC Maida Vale studios.
During this year SERA will also be releasing songs from her upcoming album, due in summer 2020. SERA is also a part of new Americana band TAPESTRI with Lowri Evans and folk duo EVE & SERA with Eve Goodman. She has a band in Cardiff as well as a function band in North Wales called SUSPECTS

--------
Mae'r pianydd, chwaraewr gitâr a chanwr-gyfansoddwr, SERA (Sera Zyborska) wedi bod yn ysgrifennu, recordio a pherfformio yn Saesneg a Chymraeg ers tro. Dros yr ychydig flynyddoedd diwethaf mae SERA wedi treulio amser yn y stiwdio yn gweithio ac yn ysgrifennu gyda'r cynhyrchydd Andi Crutwell-Jones, gan edrych ar y straeon yr oedd hi am eu hadrodd gyda'r sain a oedd yn cyfateb i'w huchelgais. Y canlyniad oedd casgliad o ganeuon a ysbrydolwyd gan bryder, cariad, hiraeth, achau, gwrachod, llongau a bydoedd coll. Mae'r cyfan yno.
Cafodd ei fagu yng Nghaernarfon, lle sy'n llawn hanes, diwylliant, rhwng Mynyddoedd Eryri a'r môr Iwerddon. Fe allech chi ddeall ei chariad at lên gwerin a sut mae tirwedd yn ffynhonnell ysbrydoliaeth y tu ôl i'w cherddoriaeth.
Dewiswyd SERA fel artist BBC Gorwelion ar gyfer 2019-2020, a chwaraeodd sesiwn fyw yn stiwdios chwedlonol BBC Maida Vale.
Yn ystod y flwyddyn hon bydd SERA hefyd yn rhyddhau caneuon o'i halbwm sydd i ddod yn haf 2020. Mae SERA hefyd yn rhan o'r band Americana newydd TAPESTRI gyda Lowri Evans a'r ddeuawd werin EVE & SERA gydag Eve Goodman. Mae ganddi band yng Nghaerdydd a hefyd band achlysurol yn y Gogledd o'r enw SUSPECTS.
