Hi! I’m Serena.

Welcome to the home of my music - Interstellar Neighbourhood!

Music is truly the cornerstone of my life.

It’s shaped my memories, friendships, studies, and hopefully my future! I’ve always been fascinated by its capacity for storytelling, and its ability to foster empathy, understanding and community.

Under the alias Interstellar Neighbourhood, I craft emotionally resonant music that blends upbeat rhythms with melancholic undertones, reflecting the complexities of grief and the journey of self-discovery.

I released my first original song, Stranger Every Day in December 2024, and have released multiple collaborative covers in 2025. My debut EP Growing Pains is coming soon!

While I began making music at a young age, I’ve now developed my skills across a broad range of disciplines:

  • I’ve been songwriting for over a decade, across alternative, pop, and choral genres. Along with numerous educational accolades, I was also named the APRA AMCOS ‘Young Songwriter of the Year’ in 2021, after winning the Australian Childrens’ Music Foundation (ACMF) National Songwriting Competition.

    I’m always ready to workshop ideas with others - there’s nothing more satisfying than turning an idea into a complete song!

  • I fell in love with Garageband at 13, and spent the years after learning how to produce music in Logic Pro.

    I am now a skilled producer in Logic Pro and Ableton Live, with additional knowledge about recording music remotely, recording in a studio, and recording from home. My personal knowledge is supplemented by my studies; I’m completing a Bachelors Degree majoring in Popular Music and Technology.

    I have experience working in both electronic and live-instrument based genres, and love providing feedback and guidance to others creating their own tracks.

  • Thanks to years of experience, I am a capable mix engineer. Whether you’re trying to create something release-worthy from an iphone recording, or are working with stems recorded in a studio, I’m skilled at creating tracks with depth, clarity and energy.

    I have experience mixing everything from vocal-heavy choral compositions to guitar-driven rock, electronic lo-fi and pop - I’d love to work on your track too!

While Interstellar Neighbourhood is a musical project first and foremost, it’s also an opportunity for me to share my other creative skills, like video editing and collage. I make almost all my digital assets myself, and love the whole process.

I’m always exploring new genres and looking for other creatives to work with: reach out to InterstellarNeighbourhood@protonmail.com if you’d like to work with me!
