Artist Bio

Classical to the bone with fire in his tone - this solo project intends to explore the musical realms and mind of Serrano-Torres. No matter the style, one moment intimate and mysterious, the other atmospheric and dynamic - his music is bound to captivate you into his cello world.

The Puerto Rican native began his cello journey at the age of 12 and quickly fell in love with the instrument's sound and vocal-like range. By 16 years old, he knew he wanted to dedicate his life to music and all it had to share. He began exploring the music of heavy cello-metal band Apocalyptica (a HUGE inspiration to him) and slowly learned about other genres as the years went by.

After earning his Bachelors in Music Performance from Columbus State University, he decided to move to Arkansas in 2014 with no specific goal in mind other than to enjoy a break and his mom's company. By 2017, he had become a sought-after cellist for bands, weddings, studio work, and had begun to make his dream of being a full-time musician a reality. His technical versatility and adventurous spirit led him to various note-worthy opportunities such as: opening a sold-out show for Jay Leno under the folk-rock duo Rozenbridge, flying to Iceland to shoot his debut song "Everywhere" (mixed by Grammy award-winner Mark Needham), having his 0riginal song "Emergence" licensed by OZCast for their documentary series, performing a 60 minute set at the inaugural year for Format Festival (curated by Roya Sachs from Triadic), playing a series of after parties for the Sundance Film Festival ( Jan. 2023) under Misfit and Ramfis productions, and is currently invited to perform a series of after parties for the Cannes Film Festival in France (May 2023).

He is currently gearing up for solo performances in London (March 9-19), a European tour in May showcasing a trio with violin wizard Leoncarlo (featured on Sofar sounds and TED-talk) and rap artist Devon Glover aka The Sonnet Man (featured on The Today Show), re-releasing demo versions of his old EP Embrace, and lastly designing a 60 minute electronic/dance-oriented experience with his main producer and friend Mike Bailey, a project involving pystrance, deep house, and melodic-progressive elements.
