Serenity…The Princess of Southern R&B and Soul

Serenity…The Princess of Southern R&B and Soul

 

 

 

 

 

Passionate. Powerful. Silky. That is the best way to describe the vocals of 15-year-old Serenity. With a gift for playing the keys and writing her own songs, Serenity is able to express her thoughts, emotions and experiences through the art of music. Put Alicia Keys, Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Chrisette Michelle in a blender, and you will have a concoction named Serenity. As a songbird born in Jackson, MS, she has been crowned the Princess of Southern R&B and Soul.

 

Serenity didn't just wake up and decided to be a superstar. She was destined for it. At birth, she was deemed a miracle child, being born at 4lbs 2oz. After fighting against collapsing lungs for two weeks, her health began to improve and her pastor prophesied that Serenity would be a singer. He was right. Serenity's mom discovered that she could sing when she heard her singing the "Barney Song" in the backseat at 18 months.

 

Serenity's journey to stardom started at age 7 when she joined her church's choir. She showcased at several talent shows in Mississippi and Memphis, TN. She even had the opportunity to perform at the Apollo. The producers loved her and confirmed that she is destined to be a star. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled and never aired, but that didn't stop Serenity from shining bright. She sharpened her performance skills by enrolling in dance, vocal lessons and community theater. She took what she learned and landed the lead role as Dorothy in the musical play "The Wiz". Her love for theater grew even stronger after performing off Broadway with  A Class Act Studios for kids and teens in New York City. She even has her own record label, SOAR Music Group.

 

In 2013, Serenity's journey took an interesting turn for the best. She had gone to a Mindless Behavior concert and was introduced to RCA recording artist, Jacob Latimore. When he hit the stage, she was in awe of his performance and ability to dance and sing at the same time. After the concert, fate intervened and Serenity bumped into Jacob Latimore at the gas station. She had a chance to take a picture and ask him advice on getting into the entertainment business. He was gracious to respond and give sound advice. It was then that she contracted "Jacob Fever". She took the inspiration from her celebrity crush and co-wrote a song with a producer in Memphis about him.  "The music video was hit so many times on YouTube; Serenity started looking like a star herself," said Mearl Purvis of Fox13 News in Memphis,TN. The song landed her an opportunity to open up for Jacob Latimore at a concert in Memphis.

 

What is Serenity up to? Well her journey has just gotten better because she has just released the new single "Jacob" the Remix ft. Jacob Latimore himself! Dreams do come true!!!  The FREE download is available at https://m.soundcloud.com/serenity-holloway/jacob-the-remix. For the latest info on Serenity, connect with her on the following social sites:

RG's All Nite Funk Band - "Hideaway" Tops the Charts at Number #1

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/rgsallnitefunkband3

We started in Detroit and our roots are from the Aretha Franklin Machine and her Smash Hitting team and soon came to the West Coast due to a Record release out there and shortly found ourselves at Motown.

 The Hotrax Team [RG Ingersoll, Lee Rogers, Ken Smith] was established in the late 70's and was signed to an exclusive Producer/Writer/Artist deevelopment.

Not only the Songs and the "Hot Tracks" That we were laying down, Got peoples attention, but we also knew the art of finding great talent and recruiting those unknown artist's to do the songs. 

Our next Album will be out soon, we are in the final stage and there will be more songs and lots of various Artists too. Our concept will reflect our blend of today's sound and hopefully open new doors in the Music Industry. 

We hope you will enjoy this music and just for a moment let your body and soul run free while you listen, it will take you somewhere you would like to be. 

Her insight, Expertise and inspiration about Hotrax's efforts to perfect a cross-over blend of songs, really was how it all started. However, even Gwen Gordy the Co-Founder of the Motown Corp. and the sound of young America, found herself being held back by the corporate heads and restricted her creative moves at every corner. 

She believed in us, and began secretly to keep Hotrax going with its creative cross-over sound. We no longer were to record in the Corporation studios in order to keep her plans secret. Hotrax was now cutting tracks in studios like Paramount, 54 East Recorders, and other unknown Studios, with a bigger budget.

LISA COPPOLA

LISA COPPOLA is a dedicated, ambitious and gifted singer/songwriter.  A life long Jersey Girl with a four and a half octave vocal range, Lisa has a passion for music and has developed a style that blurs the lines between love-gone-bad country and heartfelt, confrontational rock.

Performing since she was 16, Lisa began her professional career immediately after high school with the The Party Dolls, a very popular, long running New Jersey party band fronted by three women.  At the same time, she set out to be a solo artist but soon formed the band Broad with John Zonars, musical coordinator for Saturday Night Live.  Their album BROAD: HUMAN CONFLICT (ArtBeat Records distributed by BMG/Aris) enjoyed a string of successes in Europe.  Broad did a media/concert tour of Germany in support the record and were received with open arms by extremely enthusiastic German audiences.  Back home, BROAD became a hot New York live act, playing regularly at Manhattan’s Brownies, A/k/a, Spiral, The Bitter End as well as appearing at the World Cup Tournament at Giants Stadium.

A Rose By Any Other Name, Lisa’s debut solo album came in late 2001.  Released on indie label Any Other Name Records, Lisa co-wrote six of the tracks featured on the album.

2008 saw the release of a Contemporary Country Rock EP, Wisdom from the Pain. Lisa co-wrote the title track with Mark Conklin and former Spin Doctor Anthony Krizan. Other tracks were co-written by John Waite, who featured the song "When You Were Mine" on the front page of his official European John Waite fan site.

Not just a songwriter writing solely for herself, LISA co-wrote "You Were Mine" with Mike Walsh on his band Departure's album entitled "Open Your Mind" selling over 40,000 copies in the UK and Japan combined (Escape Music.)

Lisa’s performing credits include backing vocals with Billy Joel on Saturday Night Live (“River of Dreams” and “All About Soul’) as well as Billy’s "All About Soul" video.  She has sung with Pat Dinizio (The Smithereens), Marshall Crenshaw, John Eddie, Glen Burtnik (Styx), and Mitch Malloy. She has opened for acts like the Smother’s Brothers and The Charlie Daniels Band and performed as a member of all female Beatles tribute The Sheatles, Heart tribute Queens of Heart Band and 1980s party rock band Atomic Mary.  She performs regularly with RB3: The Red Bank Blues Band.

An album of new songs is in the works, to be released later in 2015. The initial tracks are sounding like alt-country-blues, but the recording could go in any direction.  Stay tuned…
