Lyre is Serena Brindisi's music project. With music being a lifelong passion since a young age that has run parallel to her work as an actress, after a decade-long career in theatre, she moved to the UK to pursue her musical ambitions, collaborating with artists like Dan Brown (Massive Attack) while earning a master's degree in music at Bath Spa University.
In 2020, Lyre made her debut with a haunting cover of PJ Harvey’s Send His
Love To Me followed in 2021 by the release of her EP Queer Beauties. Her new single and video "Broken Flowers", where Serena portrayed a two-faced character inspired by Mustafa Sabbagh works, was directed by video artist
Davide Mastrangelo and was named one of the best independent videos of 2021 by Mei.The EP received widespread acclaim, with critics describing it as “a small masterpiece, unique in its genre” (Rock On), and high-lighting its “combination of rhythmic violence and vocal fragility,accompanied by a well-curated graphic project. It wouldn’t surprise us to see her on the Club2Club stage in a few years” (Rockit).During the pandemic,Lyre's project underwent a significant transformation, evolving into a more experimental and electronic sound as she began to focus primarily on sound design and music production, drawing on a diverse range of influences, blending deconstructed club, organic orchestral elements, and UK bass sounds.The new solo live set "Orphan/Whale" showcases this evolution, with a video and live shows coming soon.
